  1. That's from good old times, I am full time rock climber now :-) I sent my first 8b+ few weeks ago. And PF was there! Fido
  2. What aircraft need 7 minutes for 17 kilometers? Fido
  3. I've received these pictures from manufacturer when I was looking for wingsuit specific rig few years ago. I should tell that up front. Fido
  4. What exactly did you do to leg wing inlets? Those tunnels on outer side of legs are gone? Fido
  5. Much much more fun than freefly. And freefall time is much cheaper :-) Fido
  6. You switched to my colors :-) Fido
  7. I think he is taking about EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS: http://www.photozone.de/Reviews/Canon%20EOS%20Lens%20Tests/45-canon-eos-aps-c/181-canon-ef-s-18-55mm-f35-56-is-test-report--review Fido
  8. I remember reserve pull on S-fly in 2006 in Gap. No possible to reach hockey in freefall, suit was too small. Fido
  9. The key equation for wingsuit flying is R mu nu - 1/2 R g mu nu = 8 PI T mu nu. Fido
  10. http://www.tonfly.com/CONVERTER_828527.html Fido
  11. Electra is fine canopy. I jump it a lot with wingsuit, excellent opening, nice to fly. Fido
  12. Exactly sir. Bad luck for Big apple, they missed all fun :-D Fido
  13. Shouldnt that technicaly be called the 'Saturn' then (sticking with the V1>V2 von braun projects) The V-1 was designed by Robert Lussar and Fritz Gosslau. The A9/10 was a von Braun project. Original designation of V-2 was A-4. Fido
  14. Come on. You are not regular Joe. You are the man. Fido
  15. It's violation of copyright for my color scheme :-) Fido
  16. It may be good idea to put first few jumps on something like Prodigy, but I am hyper conservative. After that it's outstanding suit, stable, performing and much less tiring due to shoulder vents. Fido
  17. Should be XTj. And everybody knows that XTj = XTki. Fido

    Prodigy

    I did 54 km/h with Phantom once (skydive of course, first half of jump, Pro Track). Fido
  19. GTI is IMHO a bit old design. I would recommend Phantom, but I am biased here :-) Fido
  20. One of designs was telescopic wing if I remember correctly. Thick inner part, thin outer part, for fast flight you retract outer part into inner part. Between the wars era was rich for such attempts. Ps.: My grandparents are dead. Fido
  21. Engineers played with modifiable wing area already in thirties. Fido
  22. James Boole (unclecharlie95) from Phoenix Fly was doing same high altitude jumps. Fido
