  3. I had similar problem on my old V3, i have a problem on my current wingsuit by Intrudair.
    After 50 - 100 jumps are any of small zippers brocken.

    Tony Suit use wide and more robust zippers in comparison to european producers.
    It can be solution for this problem...

    If people have certain questions/things they want to know about PF, planning, flying etc send me a PM and we'll try and work it into the interview!


    My first questions to PF-staff is: how looks the future of the wingsuit flying in consideration of limitation for plane surface by human body? Is wingsuit technology currently on limit of performance or not?

  6. I would like to say "thank you very much to organisation committee for nice competition days in Hungary".
    80+ participants from different countries, lot of sun, fresh air and nice infrastructure on DZ - I like it!

    Results of the competition are very impressive! 3 of 4 days we had more of less zero-wind conditions. All records and best results were made during first day at the wind of about 5-10 m/s. I hope, organizer of the competition post all final data in the next days on the competition webpage.
    Here are the roughly places for wingsuit category:
    1) 3,005 TonySuit Apache
    2) 2,751 Phoenix-Fly V4
    3) 2,703 TonySuit X-Bird
    4) 2,691 Intrudair Manta
    5) 2,610 Phoenix-Fly Venom

    Wow, I've heard of people stealing copper from construction sites... but never from live power lines. >:(


    In Russia, it is usually practice to steal energised power lines.
    Cooper and aluminium bring good money.
    Robbery use special technology for this act:
    electrical grounding for live line > shut-off due to automatic => stress-free job...

    P.S. More interesting is, if the thieves connect an junction on belowground oil piping under pressure!

    Pure speed races are a better measure of the performance of the pilot than the suit. Just look at the PPC results under the speed category. They are impressive speeds but GR suffers greatly to achieve them. The skill is in trading one off to gain the other. Other factors such as weight will reduce the time without affecting the GR, again not strictly suit related.


    My rules for good results in "Speed" at PPC:
    1) strong altitude wind in flight direction
    2) GR ~ 1,0
    3) wingsuit with low drag
    4) weight is not important

    High drag for X-Bird is a reason, why Tony is on place 6 in this competition, after Phantom, Blade and V3s.
    Apache with his surface must have more drag then X-Bird...

    Fact 1: Tony's blog wrote on 14.07.2011, Tony is the fastest in his Apache with 18,37 seconds.
    Fact 2: Frode is official winner of base race 2011 with 29,37 seconds.

    My question is: could anybody please explain me the difference of 29,37 - 18,37 = 11 seconds?



    Different cliffs ;-) As far as i can see, the fastest time in official competition yesterday was Frode's 18.53

    Thank you, outrager, for this link!

    My conclusion is:
    Apache is faster at short distances (short flight time). For longer distances (long flight time) is the result for Apache worse. Short start of Apache is maybe the main reason for this matter. But the steady-state forward speed after acceleration is low because of high drag.

    I would like to see results for Apache from Hungarian Competition and Gransee this year - results just for flight, without influence of start.

    Frode was flying his v3 and kicked ass , there were x2s in the competition also Tony was there flying his fusion but outside the comp ( not enough BASE jumps ) posting good times but not comparable to Frode and Ronny etc.


    Yes, V3 is really fast wingsuit-roket! V4 have more drag and slower than V3, because of more fabric.
    Just see on Paralog-page in "Speed Competition", all first places are for V3s http://www.paralog.net/ppc/showspeedcomp.php

    Let us see updated results for V4 at "Wings over Gransee" this year!

    And Frode cleaned up the World Base Race in the V4!
    Congrats on winning every heat AND smashing the track record!

    All Vampire podiuml...B|



    What is with another manufacturer/models - no participants, disqualification (e.g. no cut-away for zippers) or just bad results?

    Sadly weather didnt cooperate for full-altitude jumps with my FlySight, but did get to have some V4 fun on a last hop&pop at the end of the day, exiting just below cloud ceiling.

    Check it outB|

    In this regard, I remember on one full-altitude jump in 2010 with Alejandro and Costyn in Spa at more or less same weather conditions :P

    P.S. In Zwartberg we had last sunday nice day with full-altitude jumps and cloudless sky late afternoon B|

  14. Jeb, I copy here sentence from the topic for BIRDDOCTOR:

    My special proposal for you: go in August to Europa for "Hungarian Competition" (10-14 August) or "Wings over Gransee" (26-28 August) and show your really performance at the same weather conditions with others in fair contest.
    1st place at "Wings over Gransee" and yours flight to Europa is for free (1000 Euro prize money).

    Actually the flare slows me down. I was doing 120 in the dive to the crack and through it. When I do the flare and get the above 3 to 1 glide for the rest of the flight my forward speed slows down to the mid to hi 80s. Plus it's not just a flare and then stall out. It's a flare that then stays above 3 to 1 till I open :) The distance from the crack to the landing area is quite far :) The distance from where you leave the crack to where you open is .91 miles :)


    I am agreed with mccordia.
    You fly in the crack with ~120 mph (190 km/h) forward speed and after this bracke till ~75 mph (120 km/h).
    Jeb, yours data looks like swoop with a small canopy:
    1st step - ~40 seconds acceleration in the crack with high fallrate, glide ratio about 1,8-2,0.
    2nd step - ~20 seconds swoop with huge glide ratio.

    The same effect use the people in skydive competitions like "Wings over Gransee".
    Just see here one example: http://www.paralog.net/ppc/getdata.php?trackid=742&filename=Chart.png.
    Helmut's peak for glide ratio is here about 9:1 :P

    Jeb, glide ratio maximizing for 10-20 seconds is more easier then continuous flying with good performance more then 1 minute ;)

  16. Quote

    Glides are in the 3.5 to 1 range from crack exit to opening :)


    As peak or continuous?
    Could you please post here picture from Paralog with vert./horiz. speeds and glide ratio?

  17. Link: http://www.paralog.net/ppc/showtrack.php?trackid=904

    Dear BIRDDOCTOR,

    the wind on the altitude (forward speed) kick you to 3,0 :P
    Elsewise, the fallrate could be better.

    My special proposal for you: go in August to Europa for "Hungarian Competition" (10-14 August) or "Wings over Gransee" (26-28 August) and show your really performance at the same weather conditions with others in fair contest.
    1st place at "Wings over Gransee" and yours flight to Europa is for free (1000 Euro prize money).

    Seeing as you have the data in paralog. Press 'submit' so its uploaded to the paralog website at www.paralog.net/ppc/


    jeb - could you please post yours GPS-data at Paralog-database or post here your GPS-file in GPX-format?
    No facts - no trust!
    35mph (56 km/h) is nowadays standard average fallrate for "mattress" class wingsuits like X-Bird/Venom/Manta etc.

    P.S. I was landing my wingsuit yesterday afternoon, but without any witness persons... What a bummer! :ph34r:

    So for sake of clarity; are you sponsored or benefit in any way from your posts or advocacy of Intrudair?


    I got from Intrudair one Bugatti Veyron for this topic :)
    DSE - no sponsoring, no benefit. I bought my current Intrudair-wingsuit on conventional way. Fair price and short delivery time were decisive for the outcome of the war :P
