  4. Hi everyone...

    As you all know, the 4th Intl. Artistic Wingsuit Competition is held in GAP-Tallard France this year during the first week of August.

    After a few days of training for the teams, the competition will start on Thursday 4th of August.

    Just following the Competition, the Gap-Tallard DZ will bring a Skyvan on top of their 2 pilatus allowing us to fly together in bigger groups.

    This is a real chance for wingsuit flyers from all Europe to join and fly together. 15 teams will be there just for fun !

    The Skyvan will be stay from the 5th to the 8th of August !

    Come and join ! get to fly with the very best ! B|

    Ronaldo,

    the best way to shorten the booties on your Sfly Expert is to make an S-fold and stitch it (see attached picture). It also makes it easy to get the suit back to its original length if you need to sell it

    Any advice or Exprience on "Verso Hand/Arm Positions"



    well, the arm wing of the verso makes all the difference with the expert.
    it will allow you to expand your flight range...

    for normal flocking, just keep your arms like you use to do with the expert but you will need less tension...easy.

    the same if you want to increase your forward speed, just add some more angle to your flight by pushing your chest down...:)
    if you want to increase low fallrate speed, you will adopt the triwing arm position and you will feel the difference...:P. ( a bit like flying a classic/GTI from birdman...palm of hands facing up..)

    its a magic suit allowing you to use all type of flight position...

    one rule : no bent legs:)....except for the schnekk position !

    It's all the fun of an S-Fly Expert with all the range of a PF Phantom.

    like an S-Fly Verso...(also with backflying inlets) ;)

    Jarno, I really (promise) do not want to stir stuff here (as I love PF and my V3 :)), but it is my observation that although Stealth2 came before XBird, the original Stealth line from the beginning looked to me like a copy of the SuperMach1 that was the predecessor to the X-line on Tony side.

    .....and so ?:$ I was the first, no me, no me...?

    Innovation is all what as a wsflyer we are looking for, the more brands innovating from current design appears, the best it is for the community...no ? why should all manufactures absolutely be original with their particular design ? improvement and innovation taking from everybody's ideas is truly the rule to go... hopefully today manufacturers are not in a competitive market like kite surf sails where all brands are paying fees & licences for each innovation.

    Everybody is free in this small market to boost their products for our ws community... at least let them have a chance to get a decent living with it (such a small number of WS sold per year... in comparison with other markets...) am i wrong ?;)B|
