Tony and I have been working on this concept, still in the testing stage though. This weekend it Sebastian I launched a laser beam strike on Purple Mike's face it was hard not to hit anyone else in the formation almost hit Scotty and Tony at one point.
Is that the lazer beam from 'acme lasers'?
I think their product is shoddy and the turn around time is way over other manufacturers. Plus they make their product in Azbekistan from small children.
You'll be much better off with 'Joe Doe' lasers, which although very similar in appearance and cost, is so much better in performance.
Of course some laser users might disagree with me.

I had the pc-in-burble thing a few times in my first few dozen wingsuit jumps, easiest for me was to immediately go back to full flight, it would open - HARD but it would open
I pitch in full flight, then flare the suit as I feel the bag leave.
Opens just fine.

My arms are aching today, it made me realise just how out of shape for wingsuit flying I am right now! (thats my excuse anyway.. ) You did make me work hard, I must admit.
You can be rightly proud of flying the arse off of that suit, get yourself one and and watch your performance improve jump after jump!
Welcome back to the nylon crack...

I will be there carrying out FFC's or if there isn't any, jumping my ass off. Simon Brentford is also a WS'er and unless he's snowed under with FS coaching, he'll get his wingsuit on too.
Other than that, I think a couple of newbie flyers are coming along.

This weekend I noticed, as I was flying and horsing around under canopy that the legwing of my blade did somewhat inflate at one point, with the nice airlock & all... I think you might have had a similar something happen, and that it created extra drag?
This is what I was thinking, but with me also changing the rate I initiate the turn i couldn't be sure.
Unfortunately nobody had video, so we'll never know for sure.
Its certainly something to keep in mind though, I guess I'll keep my high speed landing for non-WS jumps (what the hell are they?)

What canopy do you use?
in Wing Suit Flying
Katana 120 loaded at 1.4.
Sweet openings, in fact my WS openings are better than my normal ones.
I've recently started jumping a Velocity though, so I have a Safire 119 for wingsuiting.

Where do you sit in the aircraft at your local DZ?

I sit in my exit order.
Never had a problem, even when doing a 7 way from the G92.
A little less comfort is preferable to a stall on run in.
