Okay, like I said, I wasn't 100% on that one ... maybe I heard it recovers a little faster than the Stiletto, I don't know. That was the one fact I was vague about because I can't remember exactly what was said that time! Trailer 11/12 was the best. Thanks for the memories ... you guys rocked!

I've heard of a lot of differences, but I'm going to let PD do the talking. One thing I will say that it is definately an awesome step up from the Stiletto!! It's nothing like the old Stiletto except for the fact that it's 9-cell eliptical. It's most likely going to be my next canopy. Oh, it is a step down from crossbraced, so it's not for those people arleady jumping crossbraced canopies (if you couldn't figure that out on your own) Okay ... nevermind, here's what I know about it since it's out now anyways ... Dives a little more than a Stiletto and swoops farther. Reason for a better swoop is the fact that this canopy has an awesome bottom end as well (which the Stiletto lacks). Still really responsive to harness inputs and is quite snappy. Oh, and it carves real well too (just not AS good as the Stiletto carving machine). I think (this part I'm not 100% on), it has a pretty fast and short recovery arc as well. It will recover on it's own, but you're better using at least a slight input to pull it out of the dive. I probably forgot some things, but that's what I know, enjoy! Trailer 11/12 was the best. Thanks for the memories ... you guys rocked!

I have a Brita Filter, 2 bottles of wine, ketchup, mustard, and ragu sauce. That's it ... my freezer has 2 cups (the only 2 that I own) which I keep frosted for my water I literally have nothing more! My cabinet has a can of pears and some kind of "chef boy r d" type thing, but I don't own a can opener. Ah yes ... the life of a bachlor ... Trailer 11/12 was the best.

Are F-15s good enough?? Not allowed to have a camera in these particular jets at the base this was taken at ... these were the pics I could share Trailer 11/12 was the best. Thanks for the memories ... you guys rocked!

I love buzzing canopies! So much fun for both myself and the canopy pilot I wouldn't mind setting up some of that if we're allowed! Trailer 11/12 was the best. Thanks for the memories ... you guys rocked!

Yea, he did AFF here in Deland (pictures still up here) ... he still regularly jumps at an undisclosed California DZ. They aren't public jumps at the DZ, I'm pretty sure they are arranged with the pilot at different times and such. Trailer 11/12 was the best. Thanks for the memories ... you guys rocked!
-
LOL, I already asked Kevin to ask if we could jump from them ... the guy had a very stern NO to jumping from the balloons He and I were discussing buzzing those balloons possibly with our wingsuits tho Depends on the setup of where they're at, how high the different ones are, etc. We weren't going to ask about buzzing them until we saw the setup first tho ...

Sweet ... I'd love to hang out with the locals!! Any nearby establishment (or even maybe on the ballunar site) with adult beverages and friends to hang out with would make a great night for me Once the day gets closer, we'll talk about where we'll find each other and whatnot. Can't wait Trailer 11/12 was the best. Thanks for the memories ... you guys rocked!

Best Western is where we're stayin? How do we get to and from? I never asked ya that question, hehe. I can't wait, should be fun, I can't wait to meet a bunch of fun Texans, lol. Last time I was in Texas I was at Lackland Air Force Base ... ugh, can't wait to see the REAL TX since I wasn't really allowed out, hehe. Trailer 11/12 was the best.

What device to collect my wingsuit stats??????
TB99 replied to SKYPEDESTRIAN's topic in Wing Suit Flying
Once again, I wrote them and asked if there was one out already or even if they were coming out with one so I wouldn't have to buy a Neptune, and this is the response I got. So, it doesn't even sound like they're coming out with one any time soon either. Trailer 11/12 was the best. Thanks for the memories ... you guys rocked! -
What device to collect my wingsuit stats??????
TB99 replied to SKYPEDESTRIAN's topic in Wing Suit Flying
Neptune, if you can get a hold of one! If not, ProTrack ... I put mine in my shoe (between my laces and the tongue). Your ankle or foot are the best places for most accurate readings. Trailer 11/12 was the best. Thanks for the memories ... you guys rocked! -
I'm pretty sure it's November 2001 is the start date ... just to clarify. Trailer 11/12 was the best. Thanks for the memories ... you guys rocked!

There you have it .... Trailer 11/12 was the best. Thanks for the memories ... you guys rocked!

LOL ... I've been almost soley flying wingsuits for a while now! I'm in the 150-175 flights range, dunno exactly anymore, I'd have to recount in the logbook ... I do go FFing every so rarely, but it's mainly just the suit for me. And to answer your question about the pro-track ... uh no Trailer 11/12 was the best. Thanks for the memories ... you guys rocked!
-
I dunno ... it just means I'm enjoying my flights and getting decet results right now without the need to fatigue myself and max it out ... when I get bored of what I'm doing now,, I'll try maxing it and give you results. Trailer 11/12 was the best. Thanks for the memories ... you guys rocked!

I'm sorry to go a little off topic, but I find it quite amusing you can tell when your fall rate increases by 4 MPH. Good talent if it's true, I can't see myself accurately predicting my fall rate within 4 MPH. So back on subject ... I guess I haven't been maxing out at all because I'm never fatigued. I'm getting quite good flights (always near the 2m30s time) without maxing. I haven't tried maxing my new suit out yet because I guess I haven't needed it. I'm enjoying playing in the clouds and doing all the other fun stuff or flying with others. I'll try and max the suit soon and let ya know how fatigued I get. Trailer 11/12 was the best.
