  1. You have a weak mind. Yes it was faster but not straight down you dummy.
  2. Schuebeler Jets has a new unit coming out that i have to sign a waiver for and present a safety plan but it produces over 60 lbs and a very high speed. When i hit the button on my ds-94 i can feel a little power my my goal has been to go bigger once im use to the baby motor.
  3. Im jumping it again today. I agree on the level flight thing and thats not what im going for. I am going for speed. The jump was fast i will not deny it. But in fact i got a slightly better glide angle at a very high speed 200mph. That is why the jump was so short. I covered the same distance and angle just much faster. I am very pleased with the results. I am building it for base jumping so anything over a few minutes of power is not necessary for me. Like it or not. Its super fun. My friends trying to film said i was out ahead at the same glide but pulling away. No chance on them catching up.
  4. Going light speed with Aura 2 and electric Jetpack. More jumps and flysight data soon. Squirrel Rocks! Enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUefaW9jdRw
  5. Thanks I appreciate that it does take alot of work. The model im jumping in the video is all about speed and racing(still managed to pull over the landing area at like 600 ft but def has tweaking I could only get it up to 115 MPH according to fly sight) The next one is going to be called the Pro Buzzard and it will have better gliding characteristics and a faster start. I have been building up my manufacturing capabilities and will have no problem producing suits soon. Its been long 5 years of learning but im almost ready to provide the wingsuit world with a new brand to choose from.
  6. I was out Test Base Jumping a prototype Phat-Bird "Buzzard" wingsuit and "Dumpster" harness and container system off Brento a while ago. And i was very pleased with the way the suit and rig performed. I am working on a new prototype of both the Buzzard and the Dumpster that will be my final production model. I hope to have more information and website running soon with more info, videos, and pictures, etc. Until then here are two links for some of the raw footage from two of the jumps. Remember when watching that my exit weight is about 250lbs and my friend Ted videoing is flying a v-4. Any feedback is appreciated. I will post updates as they come along. Thanks for your time and Look for Phat Birds Flying around soon... Test Base Jump Raw Footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny3j83EhJ2Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZA1FoVgJp4
  7. Ouch.... Just watched this video on break.com..... Dont know who it is or where is is at but all i can say is try not to hit a trailer on landing........ Double ouch just thinking about it..... http://www.break.com/index/skydiver-crashes-into-trailer-2086217
  8. What about a event with everything combine. Do a load with distance challenge then, on the next load do a flat formation , then do a load of another flying style. Just mix it up the entire event. Also, Do mixed up contest style jumps through out the day. You could also have a hat with a bunch of different style jumps on pieces of paper. Have someone draw out what type of jump is going to be next. And then top it off with a beer fest challenge each night.
  9. Dude that was funny, but it cut out before it got to the good stuff....
  10. Here you guys go. I finally got a little bit better video up. Its from the third jump on it. Up to eleven jumps on it now with no issues. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxekPNSPo80
  11. Just noticed a bunch of points missing from this track. It must have lost signal. Look at points 150 and on. I will make some setting changes for the next jump
  12. Alright at the DZ and got two more jumps in my suit again today. Was hoping to get more but our otter had a issue. Anyways, This is the google earth file and excel spread sheet from the first jump i did this morning. I was flying good on the crosswind leg, then when i turned back i realized if i kept flying at the same angle i was going to pass up the dz. My fault , i was jumping with some one and he spotted us to close. Anyways i put myself in more of a dive as you can tell. The second jump went better but my gps lost the signal and didnt pick back up till 6500' for some reason. Anyways. I found the sweet spot on the last one. Going to do some more jumps and upload data as soon as i do. A few more flights and im confident that the numbers will drastically improve.
  13. It all good im getting some p90x and climbing more towers. ill be a 12lb bowling ball in no time. Then ill fly by and cock slap you across the face. Blam. It was only my third jump on it give me a few more and lets see what happens. Plus i have a new gps thing sitting right in front of me and im trying to figure it out so i can jump it this weekend. I just want the video to look at whenever it no big deal. Now get back to the corner hoe!
  14. Thanks, The design and building process has taken a lot of my time and sanity away, but i am starting to get both back with each successful jump i make. Anyways I just ordered the Wintec WBT-202. I should have it in a few days. We will see how good it works. I am going to try to make some more jumps in the suit this weekend. I will def keep everyone posted with my progress.
  15. Missed out man, I got one in on Sunday. Jumped with a V-2 had a fun fast flock. Managed to stay with each other pretty good. Working on getting the video from the Granny tranny i jumped with. Plan on doing some more jumps this weekend. I am also ordering on of these http://www.semsons.com/wiwbbldalogp.html Once i get it i should be able to get some gps data to upload. If anyone suggest using a better gps unit let me know. ANyways So far the suit has held up well and all the wings have stayed pressurized and solid. It has alot of power and range, im just still trying to find the sweet spots in the suit. It has performed far better than i ever expected. I will have some better video and hopefully flight data soon. Later
