Does anyone out there know how much these canopies share and differ? Are they the same with different names, or completely different wings? Has anyone jumped both? Thanks!

The stocklist has been moving on the Icarus website. Anybody else out there with some feedback?

I've only got a few jumps now on the Freak 2, but had about 100 on the original Freak and about 40 on the C-Race. I would also agree the Freak 2 feels like it combines the strengths of the Freak and C-Race into an easy to fly package. It is smoother, faster, easier to transition, and has better back fly pressurization than the original. It feels more precise and more efficient with both slow and fast flight. The Freak is a great suit, and this is a great advancement to the platform.

I will echo the last post. I received mine last Thursday and did 7 jumps on it this weekend. Tons of range, easy to fly, very powerful flare. I easily flew with an X bird and could float by tandems. It was a big step up in performance from my Havok Carve. Freakin loved it...

Wow that is wild. Was the size/brand of reserve supposed to fit/function properly according to Wings sizing and recommendations?

Thanks for the input. I have also heard nice things about the magnetic riser covers.

Yeah I'm just curious about the wing suiting capability because Aerodyne mentioned it in the product description. It's hard to find a solid wing suiting canopy that also offers a lot of performance. I was hoping this was that unicorn.

Thank you for the info! I am 6'3 200 lbs which is why i was interested in the Ext and the L model for the Icon. I do want a MARD system as well.

I have narrowed down my choice for a new container to the Wings Ext and Icon Nexgen, but I am struggling to make a decision. Any input on design benefits and why you prefer one or the other would be greatly appreciated. For those with experience with the original Icon and the Nexgen, how much of a difference can you really notice? Thanks to all for any help.

Any new opinions or videos out there for the Zulu? Any new input for wingsuiting?

Thanks for the info. I will be in the same boat with a Havok and Colugo. I love my pilot for the stability and ease of use with a wingsuit, but I have the itch for something a little more sporty. If it would still be a good choice with the larger suits then I will have to try one.

Has anyone had any experience jumping the zulu with a wingsuit? Thoughts? Stable under line twists?

Do you have any video you would share while we patiently wait on our orders to arrive? :)

Any link to the video?

Surely there has to be something new to share with the group. Anyone able to contribute?

My suit just arrived and I will hopefully jump it this weekend if the weather clears up. Since I can't give flight info yet, I can say the customer service and overall quality of this suit is exceptional. The suit fits great and looks even better. The ordering experience was a breeze and every detail of the delivery and packaging was well thought out. They even took the time to provide detailed tips and instructions for maintaining and flying the suit. Based on the experience thus far, I would highly recommend this company. I will provide further information and photos soon.

Does anyone have any info on a Balloonis that takes jumpers near Delaware? Maryland, New Jersey, and SE Pennnsylvania would work to!

I am really itching to do a balloon jump when I return home from Afghanistan in May. Could any one point me in the right direction for a balloonist willing to take jumpers anywhere near Delaware? I am willing to drive into New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, etc...pretty much anywhere within a few hours :) Any input is greatly appreciated!

Hey guys I really appreciate all the info and guidance. I know these two suits are in different classes, but they both seem to have a lot of really good characteristics so I am interested in both. It would be great to have both, but the wife would not allow that

Wow I didn't realize the Ghost was that agile! Plus that picture looks great. Would the Ghost be capable of 3+ minute flights? Depending on my skill and ability of course

I am looking to get a new wingsuit here for next summer and am looking at the Ghost 3 and S-Bird. I will try to demo both suits before I order, but I wanted to hear how you guys that have flown these suits feel about them. How do they compare in speed, glide, agility, versatility? I will have about 150 jumps on my P2 by the time I order. I am a larger than the average wingsuiter at 6'3 and 230, so lift is important. I want a suit that gives more glide and time than my P2, but I don't want a flying carpet that lacks agility and responsiveness. Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated!

Hahahaha best post i've ever seen

Hey thanks for the contact. Is she on here? I didn't see her in the member directory.
