yuri_base 1 #8 January 29, 2008 I flew Rigor Mortis a couple of times on New Years in Z-Hills and it does rock! Some of you probably heard the words I said after the first flight on it: "Fuck yeah, sound ideas DO WORK!" Glide ratio: after exit, I could immediately feel something different (while looking at clouds around and below me): I can go there... no, wait a second... I can go THERE, and THERE, and THERE, and THERE... and still return to DZ. The feeling of increased horizontal range I can cover and the need to adjust my flight pattern was striking. Inflation: arm wing is completely sealed by gay spandex sleeves, the inflation is superb. Any wingsuit that has wings and body sharing the same pressure now seems to be absurd. Why would you need to inflate the "fuselage"?! To get more drag? Leading edge: it's smooth and semirigid (RM has semirigid foam insert). When you fly the feeling is as if you have rigid wings. Arm pressure is quite light. I wish the leading edge was more profiled and "pointy". Balance: it's off. I couldn't put the pitch angle into more aggressive stance due to overpowering lift from the arm wing. "Spanish whore" analogy when referring to leg wing spread is not enough - he needs to make the leg wing 4-6 inches longer ala V-1 to compensate for armwing's superb inflation and lift. The speed was not sufficient, I could feel there's potential there. I had to bend in my waist too much to get more horizontal speed, but it decreased the glide. Turns: were surprisingly sharp. It's almost like you just think you want to make a turn and the suit already does it. Deployment: felt a bit twitchy due to high pressure in the wings. It's just a matter of getting used to. Thumb cutaway cable: great idea! Less time is needed to look at your arms than look down left and right. Usability: The suit was quite tight on me, so it sucked: sitting in a tightly packed plane with 10 horny men about to commit sodomy in the air aka "flocking", in those tight lycra arm sleeves, with armwing inserts spreading the wings out, felt like an end of my virginity... this suit totally sucks! Although hooking it to the rig was supereasy. Zippers as armwing attachments? Not for BASE, thank you. Overall: great suit. It's good to see sound ideas and bright thinking at work. Disclaimer: what do I know, I only made 2 jumps on RM and flew as well in it as after 100 jumps on V-2. BUT: everything, including RM, pales in comparison with what will see in our fucking amazing revolutionary 2008. Fasten your seatbelts, monkeys!!!

kevin922 0 #9 January 29, 2008 What about endurance? I know that is more of a pilot deal and not a suit deal, but how hard is it on you? Could you do a 3 minute flight and keep going?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could do a 3 minute flight if I jump from stratosphere. :) The armwing pressure is about that in Phantom, definitely lighter than in V-2. Solid inflation, semirigid inserts in the leading edge, Fidel Castro fiber inserts that help profile the wing and big hand grippers all help reduce the arm strain.Android+Wear/iOS/Windows apps: L/D Vario, Smart Altimeter, Rockdrop Pro, Wingsuit FAP iOS only: L/D Magic Windows only: WS Studio Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
