  1. I believe that it is the same fabric used for hang gliders. I will contact S-Fly and find out for sure. WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray
  2. Correct. If your legs are still straight out they are making greater lift than your upper body and pushing you head low. To reduce this you must bend your knees and get your feet up behind you. It may also help to give yourself a few more seconds during your wave off to transition back to a vertical fall. Emphasize the arch and hands above your head in box man to transition out of a tracking position. Good luck and long flights!

  4. Nice to have rich friends but remember if your going to do something extremely stupid, get video... .

  5. Congratulations to the new birds on their First Flights!!! Now venture safely into the world of wingsuiting. Get quality training whenever it is offered and fly with other people as often as possible. Just remember to keep it safe so that manifest, other jumpers, & other WS pilots will want to jump with you. Long Flights!!

  6. Post some pics. It didn't really happen unless its on video or film. Right?? WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray
  7. Ed, That is quite humorous. Thanks for trolling the depths of the internet for such great pictures. WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray

  9. I have just purchased a Pentax K10D and will be mounting it to my head shortly. I am still shopping for lenses but Pentax makes several badass fixed lenses (limited edition series) that I think would work great for FF photography. I haven't tried it yet but I believe that a Canon mini plug bite-switch will work on the K10D. I compared Canon, Nikon, and Pentax. To get a weather sealed body you have to spend $4000+ with Canon (Mark Body's only) $1800 with Nikon (D200 or D300) and $800 with Pentax (K10D). The final decision was based on Value, Size, & Weight. Just my $.02 WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray
  10. Yes...phenomenal pictures. WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray

  12. Wow...very sorry to hear this. Best wishes and a speedy recovery for Loic. WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray
  13. At this rate we should have a solid 20 way all with SM1 suits on.
  14. Thats a damn nice looking suit Scott. Good luck shutting it down at pull time. She tends to stay inflated a bit. WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray
  15. HAHA...very pleasant reply indeed. Matt, where are you jumping? Scott Gray & I have a S-Fly Access in our wingsuit academy inventory at SD Orange (VA). You are welcome to come out and try some suits out. PM me if interested.

  16. My suit is made of Parapack 420 and I love it. It is much more durable and it inflates to a more rigid surface than lighter materials. So, I say it improves performance.

  17. Thanks for the pics Justin!! BANG WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray
  18. Nice pics Scotty!! See ya in Puerto Rico. WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray
  19. Yeah Doug...you are right. If it seems too good to be true...it generally is. I work in the consumer electronics business and I know of many internet whores and trunk slammers that have screwed people over the years. They claim it is new product with factory warranty when in reality it is generally B-stock (re-furb) or worse it could be stolen goods. Be very careful. Buy from a reputable company. Preferably a local dealer that you trust. This goes for anything electronic or of high complexity.

  20. Without doubt turn OFF the auto-focus. You just need to set the focus on the ground manually before you start jumping. I have also played with manual exposure but this can be very tricky to get right. I haven't really had any issues with using the auto exposure anyway. I am using a Sony PC350 with a Waycool .45x lens. WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray
  21. I use a PC350 in a Cookie Composites box with great results. It has great video quality and has a LANC port for a remote indicator. My brother uses a PC1000 which is also nice and slightly thinner but taller than my PC350. Either are good choices with many accessories available.

  23. High Speed Exits are a lot of fun. Last one I did was at Skyfest 2007 from a skyvan. Exit speed was 135 kts. Can't wait to do it again. WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray
