  2. funny to see that us military is testing new suits.
    speed up boys !
    V 3 is already in use by german luftwaffe.
    After some strong debates with pacifist members in the german ministry of defence and the self regulation, to use the suit only for strategic operations, the first suit was ordered and delivered end of 08. In the future the suit will be tested under realistic combat missions.
    PF is proud to be part of this first serious deal with the military´s and looking forward to the coming chances of development, offered by the military capabilities.

    love and peace

  3. foreget VX 3 sneak preview, proto etc.
    production is on! and it´s live now! to see in action this weekend on a terminal cliff in italy for terminal fun.
    got mine 2 days ago..and first time that it like the final suit more than the prototype from the beginning.
    for all you guys on the order list..prepare yourself for a big step and smile.

    ps. take care also on personal design wishes..pf design sometimes comes out special. ;-)

  4. personal experience after some (20+) base flights with the suit on different sights:
    the suit is easier to fly comparing to V1,V2,Vx
    not meaning the suit is easy...it can fly you also,more power for nice flights but also more power if something is not going super solid. exits for example. but after changing arm-wing position on exit all is fine.
    pilots can fly faster if they know how , but suit is not automatically faster.
    biggest benefits ...according to faster inflation the suit starts earlier to fly...did some 2 ways together with V2, and after some seconds you find yourself way higher.
    better glide indeed...not measured by ratio point x to y but easy to see how far i was able to fly.
    a big step forward direction safety ,fun and the dream of flight. Gives you a good feeling at the exit when the only landing is far and the start is short.

  6. whow..!
    one of these things you have no words for...just watch, enjoy and start to dream...the human dream to fly..it´s possible. ws-flying opens new dimensions.
    it looks so nice and naturally that i like to forget that these pictures are the result of years of development and personal training of the pilots..over years with hundreds of flights.
    respect and thanks for to let us be a part on your.. sometimes crazy !!...flights.

  16. totally agree with ronald,
    remembering our first hike in same conditions with ice and snow..for sure the most dangerous hike i ever done.
    make sure that the conditions will be good for minimum half day.the eiger is known for fast changing weather, the main reason for the huge number of lost climbers in that wall.
    we had clouds from one minute to another coming from nowhere and they can stay.alpinists expect more rock fall on the classic jumpers route because of the warm weather period.
    i would recommend a guide to find the way.
    in dry and nice conditions beautiful jump!!
    take care and good luck

  19. any ideas how to connect bite switch from CONCEPTUS to canon 350D.
    is there a need to buy original plug and cable in or is there a way to make yourself an adapter by using ´usual´ electronic- shop- parts.
    thanx

  20. in fact it was meant with sarcasm.
    he should have thought a bit on the(local!) jumpers behind him, maybe somebody would love to do just one jump from this object to be his own king .showing to the public and security that´s still possible to come on top,with a smile and king attitude, well ..bravo!(sarcasm)
    what´s so bad to be secret?

  22. don´t worry,
    you will love the V2.
    i was lucky to do 2 jumps on a prototype and since then i don´t want something else.
    in fact V1 is supertoy ..but ...:)robi wipp your sewing girls!

  23. hi gus,
    i am jumping troll mdv with fine mesh on terminal jumps,works fine. but i do not pull out of full track.ask atair to make you one small mesh slider.rolling nose and slider control is good idea.
    take care

  24. meister robert,
    as our friend stane says...
    transfer mass and altitude into kinetic energy
    let you sewing machine run;)
    i hope we can change direction soon..following the length of the valley
    take care

  25. hi gus, my compliments go to you!
    remembering my flights with s3..you are way further.
    same goes to hungary ws crew.
    the spot becomes more and more ws playground.

    thinking about the special canopy skill team...their decision one hike earlier, not to jump because of the winds, was super smart.
    take care
