  6. I have the fortrex 201...it works great. The only differnce is the batteries. I prefer the 201's rechargable internal batteries. - - - I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today.
  7. Congrats dude! 52 seems pretty good for flight 1. It looks like you weigh like 125 or so (based on your wing loading) how tall are you? Did you flip through your risers on deployment??? - - - I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today.

    Fly the Line

    There was some good footage of some impressive flights..but I didn't think the production quality was that great..and I would have liked to see more camera man video'd flights versus so many "first person" flights. Shaky footage of the ground/cliffs really isn't that interesting after a while. I thought the soundtrack was kind of weak too. This isn't too bash the quality of the flights...there were some impressive flights...especially of flying close to the cliff line. - - - I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today.
  10. Matt, Another Great Video! You should compile your vid's into a DVD! I've enjoyed watching them all and would like to see them in full quality! - - - I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today.
  11. I meant to mention that I did blow a wing on my first flight! It was definitely rigged correctly....I checked like 10 times, but I got a little too aggro on my 'throw' on one of my practice pulls. This induced a turn, but was easy to correct and fly straight after that. I wonder if Robi has ever considered using RSL shackles instead of the loop/button combo? It seems like they would work fine for the wing attachment and be easier to undo too. - - - I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today.
  12. Congrats Buff! That's an Acro right? Nice Pic! - - - I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today.
  13. Thanks! Ha on the superhero comments...being a "Prodigy" is good enough!! I'm sure I'll see you in the skies soon!
  14. I got to fly my new Prodigy today! It was sweet. I got in 3 flights, all with good exits and deployments. It is defintely a bit 'twitchy' but I didn't think it felt out of balance or any of the other negative comments I had heard/read. Oh yeah...it was a BLAST!!!!
  15. Thanks. I do appreciate the advise and understand your point. I usually pack inside, but it is toooo busy it a the boogies... - - - I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today.
  16. password is password - - - I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today.
  17. It is a "quick and dirty" estimate...a reasonableness test...if you will. No formula can account for peoples preferences. - - - I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today.
  18. All true...it is a rouqh estimate...and you can change the assumptions...to fit your assumptions....the ones noted were/are mine. - - - I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today.
  19. It is excel. Sorry, I can't put it into another format... - - - I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today.
  20. I constantly See Questions about used gear prices on here. While there are many factors that effect the fair value...I think this spreadsheet may give one a good idea on what the reasonable value of undamaged gear is....this tool is a quick and dirty estimate only. Check it out. - - - I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today.
  21. Thanks...or Is that sarcasm? I think it looks cool with my rig! I can't wait to fly it!!! - - - I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today.

  25. I still have not received it...it's been a slow process. Supposedly...it was shipped last Tuesday...but it has not yet arrived. I've been racing home everyday to check the door. - - - I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today.
