the difference is in the text. You have over 1000 Katana120 jumps. He has under 1000 jumps, the last (hundred?) ones were under the Katana. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

I know a couple of things too, but would like to hear your story. Always willing to learn. Thing is I needed to fly "rather flat" and fly fast horizontally... P.S. the suits (and people) I tried to follow had as I said an Apache, and FYB new suits (don't think they are on he market yet), with nice big armwings, and rather LONG and thin legs (speedlegs). Lots of lift, lots of speed. So that was great arrows with very good indians. I didn't feel ashamed at all. Was glad they "only" beat me horizontally, and it was good to have to fly at high percentage of my capacities. Jarno, you know that trend of "flying the smaller suit" at a higher percentage to fly with the bigger suits who don't max out... Well the feeling to fly a rather big suit at high percentage was really great

even better

I spent 5000m working on max speed, and my Ghost3 (which I definitely love and is a great suit with LOTS of potential in all fields) is definitely not as fast as an Apache, or the suits which were flown by Gé and Zune. I know I still have to work on my skillz, but I would have needed a different arrow to match their performance... Or a weight belt scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

I prefer the Icarus for the lighter toggle pressure, as my regular job only requires me to type on a keyboard (and my hobbys do NOT include "pumping iron"). Also the "no half-brake settings" saves you a minute or 2 on packing, and the steep flying also gets you back on the ground faster without spiraling like a madman. If you are on a "time budget", for example you are the TI AND the packer, the Icarus will save you a couple of minutes and some energy, so you have more time to give to your passengers (and time to eat/drink/go to the loo) edited to add : I have flown : -Icarus 330 and 400 -Aerodyne A2 -PdF BT80 -Sigma 370 scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

FIFY This saturday I did only 1 wingsuit flight, from 6000m, and learned A LOT. Trying to follow Geraldine, Zune and MAtt G. I was always level with them, but fuck me, these other suits are fast

if you wore a weight belt, you could simply ditch it

when I got my rigger rating, I thought that learning to pack rounds would be of little utility for me, and that it would remain a "nice to know" thing. Actually half of my "live" packjobs are rounds

And this was the way they packed a ram air into a molar bag. Sparky cool, thanks for that. Very interesting. Guess that canopies WANT to open anyways scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
