  1. ^^^^ oops, need to remember to logout BASEstore.it
  2. it is orange, sorry.. pretty busy here but come late afternoon and we can do a couple of jumps
  3. Weather was ropey all day yesterday but managed to get one in the evening
  4. hmm is there any way to extract them from paralog? I don't think i have the raw gps file anymore.. BASEstore.it
  5. The cut away system is to allow you to reach your steering line toggles and safely fly your canopy. I have already used the system for real when a zip jammed, i was easily able to reach the toggles and land without problem. The freedom of movement is not as good as the old side of body tab/cable BUT more than sufficient to reach your toggles and fly your canopy. BASEstore.it
  6. http://www.phoenix-fly.com/products/Phantom2_5.htm yes, we replaced them with "scoop" inlets on the leg wing. BASEstore.it
  7. Screen shot from Stealth flight (base) attached. BASEstore.it
  8. She will start soon, once the smaller cuts are made Chuck, will see with R, will be tight with the shipping. BASEstore.it
  9. Phantom 2 flies nice, better pressurization and more forward speed than #1. More details: http://www.phoenix-fly.com/products/wingsuit_Phantom2.htm BASEstore.it
  10. Greg and Elaine Cox are there, both are BMI/PFIs. Good wingsuit pilots and instructors. BASEstore.it
  11. www.loicjeanalbert.com Video explanation of wingsuit flying is excellent. The time line is also nice and detailed. BASEstore.it
  12. Valery Rosov has confirmed the Stupino Wingsuit Boogie & competition will take place again this year
  13. No such thing as bad publicity, "utilizing" the media is a real and effective part of modern policing / investigation. Every sound bite, column inch and internet post slightly increases the chances of turning up new evidence. BASEstore.it
  14. IMO the bigger suit is less enjoyable to fly in BASE, i get less distance but more time. The emotions and sensation of flight are less intense. Compared to the V2 the Stealth feels like being under a canopy. It is also harder to fly precisely making proximity even more risky. (and it took me along time to find the PC on my 1st cliff jump, a few seconds skydiving is not such a big issue...) BASEstore.it
  15. The wingsuit discipline continues to grow and the market is maturing. I see that the "purchase decision" process is becoming more detailed, it is no longer just a question of which suit has the "look ma bigger wings" or 7:1 glide ratio. Ease to assemble / wear / fly, cut away system, materials, build quality, color options, 2nd hand value, delivery time and price are becoming more important. BASEstore.it
  16. they didn't turn out so good.. BASEstore.it
  17. The Phantom 2 prototype was also at Z-Flock 4.0 to get some more test jumps and feedback. Main changes are to the inlet design, panels and also a slight increase in surface area (arm and leg). All 3 obligatory views attached.. BASEstore.it
  18. Just got back today. I am little bit tired so we did something right
  19. Today a historical feat was achieved during the Z-Flock 4 wingsuit event. Ray Stone, jumped from a helicopter, wearing only his wingsuit and successfully landed - his only injury - a bloody nose! Video and photos to follow! BASEstore.it
  20. We made a few nice loads today before the weather turned. I had an interesting jump with a Texan fly stuck to my goggles, couldn't see a thing the whole jump With the low cloud base we made a fun distance comp. Not really possible to call a winner as 3 passes were needed. Jeff gets styles points for showmanship, doing a 180 at the end of his flight He is serious about retaining his distance title and is sporting a new prototype with looong wing stick thingies. The bad weather gave everyone time to catch up with old friends. Attendance is over 60 for the first time. The flock is still growing
  21. Jarno, I wish you were coming to Z-Flock too, to help represent the United States of Europe (I am even going to take a quick shower before the 11 hour flight ) BASEstore.it
