  1. Thanks for the great writeup on the suit! Where are you located at? I just might take you up on the offer! Also it's pretty obvious that the tail is different from yours and Vicentes suit. Looking where the tail attaches, Vicentes it perfectly straight across, yours tapers narrower and longer past the feet at least 2". when I asked vite about the short tail he even acknowledged that it was shorter and he gave a reason for them shortening it. Not trying to argue, i am really interested in trying the suit out. It just concerns me when the prototypes are different from the production models. I want the same suit that is being flown in brevant, not one with a shorter tail. Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121
  2. Actually they shortened the tail, so its the same length as the floor. This was a change they made after the videos. I'm not too sure though, my buddy just received his Freak and it has a longer tail like in the promotional video. I know on the website when you go to place an order though it does show the tail ending at the feet. do you know Vincente Caijaga? ill try and get some pics of his suit, he specifically said they shortened the tail due to flapping issues in a dive.

  4. yea but that thing is wired to a battery. the 20s has an internal battery. we have a bunch of florida wingsuiters using them. great for XRW!!!! Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121

  6. Does anyone have any contact information for this company? I've heard they didn't pay their employees taxes And are out of business. Where does that leave the people who paid for the c6air? Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121

  8. I had a w13 and jumped a 170 spectre in it. I was able to extend the closing loop and get a 260 base canopy in there.(very sloppy) ive also had a 135 sabre2 in it, as well as a 150 spectre. it should be doable, but I believe a 170 is what is recommended for that size container.

  9. I am actually doing the same exact thing as we speak. I'm looking for opinions on fabric as well. The fabric in question is 65% polyester 35% nylon. Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121
  10. im about to make my own tracking suit. just wondering if a fabric that is 65% polyester and 35% nylon will hold up? thanks Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121
  11. I'm getting the same response. Kenneth claimed the C6 should start shipping on June 20th. We are less than a week away from that date, no updates, nothing! It's been over 2 years since I've paid in full for this helmet. Skysystems needs to step up and get this completed. These guys claim they are going to make special helmets/ and additional gear to make up for their failure. I'm not holding my breath. They can't even answer the phone.

  12. i started wingsuiting in a 182, we launch 4 ways quite often out of it. bigsuits included. here is how we have been doing it. first person out the door hangs from the strut. (cross your legs/bend knees to keep the tail shut down.) next person out holds the strut, standing on the step, facing the prop. next person wedges themselves out the door on the step but next to the body of the plane, last guy is a diver. hangar goes first. we launch 3 and 4 ways quite often like this. make sure the diver has some experience because they end up having to work the most to get to the formation.

  13. im looking at the scores, what constitutes a 0? disqualified?? how do you get disqualified? flysight fail? low pull? wind? Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121
  14. the biggest suit that you are most comfortable in. I fly an Aura and love it for XRW. at flock n dock this year we did a few jumps with super experienced people. Lurch(apache xrw),Florez(jedei2),Moe viletto(rbirdpro), etc. rob harris was the canopy pilot was flying at 2.8 leeia. I was the only person to get in. on the next jump I got Curt Bartholomew and Nick Bastch to fly canopy. they were at 3.2 on peregrine/valkrie not sure. everyone got in. (I got curts first XRW dock!) it is the canopy pilots loading and setup,the wingsuit pilots skills and wingsuit that make a successful XRW jump. its not just a suit.

  15. I made a $10 light relay for mine. it has an on/off switch and a photocell that sits on top of the indicator light on the top of the camera. it also has a red led for a status indicator. super easy to make. I found the diagram on here, it weighs next to nothing and fits between the camera and visor when side mounted Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121
  16. the Sony as100v actually has really good sound compared to most other action cams. I use a sena 20s intercom and you can clearly hear the conversation in my videos. the speaker is on the inside of my helmet and the cam is on the outside of a full face g3 with visor closed. Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121
  17. I jump the AS100v side mounted on the right side. I only jump wingsuits, so that might put the risers behind my helmet on deployment more than a freefall jump. ive never had an issue, but that doesn't mean its not going to happen. I used this last wingsuit season in Europe, and I plan on using it again this year. most cameras have snag points somewhere, try and minimalize any gaps and sharp corners. if bolting on the mount is scaring you, try it with nylon screws and test how hard it is to break away Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121
  18. that all sounds good in theory but I found it it's hard in the real world when you're 6 foot 4 and 250 pounds somebody tell me that they have got a demo suit in that size. Please. Fingers crossed. But I'm not holding my breath Jason bresson might be someone for you to get in touch with keith. I missed you at fitz this year man!

  19. Sleep in the bed you've made. The responses here clearly state how the BaseJumpers feel about your endeavor. and get a life, 50 fucking skydives....... what the fuck is wrong with you? grasping at straws are we? do the manufacturers know you will be going against their requirements for beginners jump numbers? you do realize they require 200 to use their equipment right? its apparent you don't care about the base community, manufacturers, or participants. by supporting the idea of a 50 jump wonder jumping at this event. please stop trolling the skyjumping forums for people to put in danger. btw what rigs are you planning on loaning out to the 50jump wonders? ill be sure to let the manufacturers know that you disregard their safety requirements and have no problem putting them at risk.

  20. have you ever been to bridge day? more people jumping wet pack jobs than dry ones. Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121
  21. florida wingsuit crew will be in route tomorrow after work!!! hitting as many fixed objs on the way as we can Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121
  22. 200 jumps is what you need to put on a wingsuit. 200 jumps is also what qualifies you for a C license. I'm sorry you are too lazy to get your C, but I see no reason to come bitch about your own laziness here. a logbook is a lot easier to fake than a C license. Romain has been working very hard to keep wingsuiting in Sebastian. we all travel the world for base trips, sometimes it's nice to be able to get a sky jump in a foreign place. I don't know any other DZs that have an lz at the local bar on the beach, it's kind of nice! Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121
  23. And? I am happy with the setup. Just added FPV this week. I was not happy using the GoPro without a Gimbal, main reason is that the drone tilts too much and ruins the video. Not an issue when you only take pictures though. Your are not going to need the samsung tablet for anything relating to drones. Steering with WiFi and a tablet like with some of the (old?) Parrot drones is not really much fun because of the limited range. Using it as an FPV Monitor has too much delay. The GoPro is usefull for the drone, but if it is only for flying drones then therer may be better options. actually you can get a UVC grabber and use the tablet for your fpv monitor/dvr. i fly a phantom as well, but use the sony as100v because it has image stabilization. uhf for the radio and 1.3 ghz for the video. gives 3+ miles of range. they fly away a lot. watch youtube. get uhf you wont be sorry.
