How about Cobalt? Have you jumped with wing suit? Any tricks?
-
It was a joke.
-
Get a 7-cell, like Triathlon, Spectre, Storm. My last opening was from about 200km/h horizontal speed. It was soft and without any trouble.
-
Mesh slider?
-
I got my first wing cut-away this year. I managed to get some fabric into the zipper on opening. It can happen any day. I would not buy a suit without it.

What is your lession, smart guy?
-
If you plan a cross country jump, that is different.
-
You may find some data on trackingderby.com. Anyway a skydiving canopy has a glide ratio between 1:2-1:3.
-
Don't you know that heavier than air things can not fly?

Do your search. Sure, just remeber you got a cut on your eye which never ever going to be heal. -
A diet...like..healthy food...(just an example). this is all what is needed.. then real wingsuits... Or just make some miracle and put skinny guy on that suits they deserve. They usually get the biggest wing than complain about they have to fly dirty with heavier guys. I was flying formation with a girl in tracking suit and I was flying my Stealth. I don't care about delays and willing to take the challenge.

I fly a Stealth these days. I got no problem with arm wing pressure. I'm not so happy because the suit limits my reach even more, than my Phantom I got before. I have not been and not planing to be on the floater bar with Stealth. I'm wondering to get an XS or X-bird, so I'd like to know if X-bird would have more freedom of arm compared to XS. Thanks!

Well, its starting to be an annoyance with WL 1.3, something you might you @ WL 1.6, a real sharp tool over 2.0 I can fly my canopy without breaks and use them just for flaring.
-
What is the functional difference between the old and the *-bird wings? Thanks!
-
Than we need an umbrella for this pissing contest.
-
Nice, you found one more way to get yourself kill or disabled....
-
The small one from my profile . WL 2.2+
-
Well, if you want to jump a high performance canopy, you should accept the high performance openings.
-
Simple. Left turn: I lean to the left, I lift my right hip, than my canopy banks something like 20 degrees to the left and here we go.
-
Now you got the meaning of the crazy russian.
-
I guess now you know what to choose.
-
Get the right tool for the purpose. BASE, performance flying or flocking. It does matter what you want do you want to use your suit.
-
Use for what? Skydive or BASE? Skydive? Go for Phantom. BASE? You might get more freedom of movement in Prodigy. Wing area is not primary for performance, but skills. Check the result of the 3rd Hungarian wingsuit boogie.

1. Bridle in the mesh

My concern would be having a tension knot.
