Generally accepted wingsuit statistics?
unclecharlie95 replied to kevin922's topic in Wing Suit Flying
7:1 and 20 mph vertical -
Start up a wingsuit company! BASEstore.it

There are a fair few suits out there now, but a lot of them are in the bottom of gear bags Skydivers whose primary discipline is wingsuit flying are still very few.. BASEstore.it

You've been looking at me with my legs spread too much Stance is the same, trailing edge has been moved down. BASEstore.it

The sleeves on the P2 are more baggy than the P1 (we had some complaints about the P1 being too tight). The sleeves still inflate so this is not an issue, i didn't pull the material into position around the cuffs and that makes it look worse in the photo.. BASEstore.it

Jason, i know my place is on the other side of the camera, but when needs must! You should see how Robi looks in the prototypes after 20+ hours straight on a sewing machine! I have a suitable model in mind, but she only wears pink suits... BASEstore.it

The new clips are faster than the old system, all you have to do is press both brass levers at the same time, which you can do intuitively on touch. For experienced Prodigy 1 jumpers it takes a few jumps to "unlearn" your muscle memory! BASEstore.it

Tristan! See you there? BASEstore.it -
Jurgen helped test the prototype!

From the jumps I've made so far I would say the Prodigy 2 has more forward speed and slightly lower vertical speeds. Glide ratio was around 2 but improving. The ram air arm wings have made the suit more stable and reduce the arm pressure (but it is still a little higher than a "normal" wingsuit). There are obvious ways to get even more performance form the Prodigy platform but the aim was to keep the Prodigy as a beginner / user friendly suit in terms of pilot skill and price. From a user point of view the new wing attachment is a huge improvement. The suit flies better than the Prodigy 1 but if you are after more performance i would recommend a bigger suit such as the Phantom or similar.. BASEstore.it

ok, so there were 2 suits in my package from Slovenia I'll even let Tristan try it

Nice job overall, Jeff you could have been closer I want a microwave camera too, live air to ground rocks! BASEstore.it

Right hand pulls right cable, left hand pulls left. You don't need to pull the cable all the way out to free your arms like on the side of body tabs. It works nicely. Remember to wipe your cables with silicon every now and then... BASEstore.it -

On the early prototype we played with inlets on the leg wing itself (not so good because of the back deflector) and on the lower calf. In the end we went back to a position similar to that of the Acro as that is what we found worked best. BASEstore.it -
He has mainly been jumping a Proto S4 that Robi made for him before PF. BASEstore.it

But why compare yourself to me? When there are no other people (probably more skilled than both of us) for us to fly against as well? With out any prizes? Or free champagne to drink? BASEstore.it -

hahaha, out, I am busy that weekend too. What would be the point of the race anyway? You win? I win? What does it mean? Who cares? Out flying yourself is the true test.. We will meet up at z-flock, spa, cochstedt, marl, arezzo or one of the other boogies though. You can try a stealth for yourself. BASEstore.it
