voodew1 0 #4 October 3, 2005 Made another jump on the GS-1 this weekend -- exit 13.5k pull at 2.2k ----3 minutes and 1 sec. as per video. I am still not sure how much forward speed this suit has but I know from where I exited the aircraft and the flight path I took, it can cover quite a bit of ground. The whole flight I was trying to relax and not max out the suit as I was trying to avoid the arm strain -- well the pain was still there but it is getting better with each flight. I believe it is just a new set of muscles that aren't used with other suits and will hurt less with more jumps. I really had no problem with turns or flight - the suit really inflates into the shape it wants and is not very body position critical (this was said to mean your not going to gain a major amount of performance by slight body position changes). The leg feedback is very good from the suit > if your legs are not spread properly you will feel the flap almost instantly and you feel the suit start to either turn slowly start to dive. This happened a few times toward the end of the flight as I was very focused on my burning arms and not so much the leg stance. Once again leg pressure is very little. As per protrack from 13.5 to 6.5k which was 119sec Max 54mph, average 41mph, lows down into the high 20's. Through the grape vine I have been told work is in progress on a flocking wing, a bigger wing, and the new larger tailwing attachment This suit is not hard to fly at all -- it is very different to fly -- and you use totally different upper body muscles to fly --- but it is easy and fun to fly. The demo schedule has not changed and is still available mid January The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #5 October 3, 2005 I think it's great to try different things. As to the "workout" part of it, that's just a bonus. It really is a cool looking suit, Jason. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scott Actually, I would love to be able to make a nice wingsuit weekend in a warm clime. Unfortunately, I will be away working a military contract. Hog Flop will be my first boogie since SkyFest.
