So you're selling the "mercury" style now? Or were you just off-loading some prototypes? CORRECT I was under the impression that you and Tony (and Chuck Blue Blasphemy) preferred the pure SM1 and the "mercury" was just an interesting R+D project that ultimately vindicated the SM1 as a better design.

Why don’t you close your legs when you deploy? Those airlocks still freak me out on deployment ------------------------------------------- I think what Scott is doing for deployment in the last pic is perfect, you can see the lines going up at a perfect angle, not back almost parallel to the earth like when you deply in a track, or dont shut down the leg. What I'm doing now at pull time is, I let go of my handles and "flare" with my hands and look up at the same time, then I bend at the knee just a bit, then both hands back ect, I find with this system I get the hackey perfect, its only when i mess with this that I get the wing or the handle when going for the hacky Life is a series of wonderful opportunities, brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. tonysuits.com

its just the wings are made of parapac 210 or 420, the body is made of suplex, very light, comfortable and strong, Life is a series of wonderful opportunities, brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. tonysuits.com

ok, I blame myself, I'll put an end to this madness by writing in all the times if that will help, Phill Peggs will do it while i fix his Blade :-) Jeff's fatest speed was 50mph till pull time, after 6 seconds vertical speed was 38mph 7 sec's-45 this is the most boring post, 8-50 10-50 11-49 12-37 13-32 14-27 15-23 16-21 17-21 18-21 19-24 20-30 21-30 23-38 25-39 26-42 27-40 28-39 29-37 44-34 45-30 46-27 48-25 49-24 50-24 51-25 52-26 54-29 55-32 56-33 57-32 38-30 60-32 61-32 63-34 70-27 71-25 72-27 73-28 74-29 75-30 76-28 78-25 80-28 82-30 85-29 87-29 90-32 95-31 96-34 98-34 104-30 105-27 107-28 108-29 109-31 110-28 111-25 112-27 113-38 114-39 115-45 117-46 118-42 119-36 120-32 122-31 124-31 127-31 133-34 136-28 139-39 140-38 142-41 143-41 145-35 147-32 151-52 159-35 160-33 161-33 162-33 163-36 bored yet

ok, its started, Jeff and I just landed from our first practice jump, we did round 1, I'd just like to say that was the most fun I've had wingsuiting, [cept for the odd cloud jump maybe] but that was more like the 4 way days, total work out, great, 15 min call for our second practice jump, haha Life is a series of wonderful opportunities, brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. tonysuits.com

there, simple, thanks Justin, I'm looking to see if the arm to body zips come undone when backflying, the airflow is right to keep em closed but you know skydiving, if they come unzipped, I'll put a snap on a tab there and could even send them out for anyone that needs em, too early to say, Jeffs been backflying a bunch with no probs, rock on Life is a series of wonderful opportunities, brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. tonysuits.com

I reminded Heffo last night, Jeff you reading this???

yep, lots, Jeff's gonna post em, its really not hard, spesh for a professter of aronautic's

Ive heard that Angels go to fly there because its the most beautiful dropzone in the world, maybe new Zealand can beat it?? Life is a series of wonderful opportunities, brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. tonysuits.com

All the non-data aside...any chance at actually showing some pics on the mod, before everyone starts cutting wings off their suit in the wrong places? We'll show you eurotrash can fly next summer... -------------------------------------- ok we'll go get pix, its a bit cloudy in paradise today so we'll go to the shop and do it, I can blow the wings up with my in house wind tunnel, [a leaf blower] and your not trashy just a little misguided,

You sayd you looked at the track from "top to bottom" but it supposedly switched off the moment he hit 20 mph, so there is just a track ending at that point....which mean there is no complete data from top to bottom or avg./sustained speed.. ------------------- uh uh, even though the Altitrack thinks he pulled it still reads of your vertical speed, oh yes by golly Life is a series of wonderful opportunities, brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. tonysuits.com

This is quite the pissing match I must say... oh deee zeee dot com -------------------------------- Yes I do apologize, all I said was that we got a better slow fall speed with the back of the wing picked off. and to answer the "Flare" questions He had no "residual" speed to flare with, just flat level flight, slowly getting his vertical speed down, Life is a series of wonderful opportunities, brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. tonysuits.com

Isnt calling other people idea stealing whores a bit much, seeing you guys stepped in when most of the current designs are based on ideas from other people (dead and living) from the past ------------------------------ I think he was jokeing Life is a series of wonderful opportunities, brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. tonysuits.com

we haven't noticed a difference, were gonna go fly camera on his back filming under a backflyer to see it Life is a series of wonderful opportunities, brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. tonysuits.com

we've done hundreds of jumps with the wings only attached at the front, we both noticed the difference when I started sewing both parts of the wing to the leg, I've been trying to alleviate the problem by making the back of the suit bigger but this way seems better, the two wing skins going to the biggest rib at the body form a triangle with the point being the hand, when you move your hands down you disfigure the triangle, the hinge seems to help that, The Mercury was my thing , it made a very swirliy suit fly great, Life is a series of wonderful opportunities, brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. tonysuits.com

Can we see some pictures of this? Is this something that current "series 2" suits can be retrofitted with? Sounds like a rigger could do the work, or am I wrong? With a sustained fallrate in the 20s, was Jeff getting 4.5-5.5 minute flights (assuming fallrate was higher on exit and at pull time)? ------------------------------------------- no it was just over 3 mins, he pulled a bit high and didnt maintain 20's the whole jump, and yes its easy to pick out the stitches on the back of the wing where it meets the leg Life is a series of wonderful opportunities, brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. tonysuits.com

On our first wingsuits the wing was attached to the leg with a zipper, the back of the wing was free of any attachment, this created a hinge like arrangement. On the series 2 suits we put the zipper over the shoulder to attach the rig to the suit. When I started this system I sewed both the back and the front of the wing to the leg similar to all the other wingsuits on the market, Both Jeff and I noticed a restriction when we wanted to fly with a slow descent rate, hands below the chest. Yesterday Jeff did a jump recording his downward speed with my Altitrack, his best sustained speed was 30 mph, we then picked the back of the wing away from the leg and jumped it again and had a noticeably slower descent rate, 21 mph, thats low 20's sustained not peak, I picked mine and liked it, I also liked that I had less arm restriction in the plane, that I can reach higher with the back of the wing not sewn to the leg, So.......... as of today we will not sew the back of the wing to the leg on our wingsuits, Thank you.

You guys are gay especially that Nick dude. ---------------------------------- just because he fly's in a funny position doesn't mean he's gay

Attach a big hook to your wingsuit, and a big loop at the end of the Bungy, and aim to catch it at the end of your flight...aircraft carrier stylee... That elliminates the weight issue! ------------------------ what a good idea, you'd certainly improve your aim and you airnt very high to start with so it shouldn't hurt if you miss

C'mon Tony, ask me or Scotty and we'll tell you why we both have HC5's... many jumpers have reported problems with HC7 due to optical image stabilization. -------------------------------------- ok jolly good, opps yanks don't say that do they? so how bout the CX7 with a memory stick, I want to get 4+ pixel still pic FROM the video, can we do that or is that bull? Life is a series of wonderful opportunities, brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. tonysuits.com

Does anyone know the difference between the HDR-HC 5 and the 7, I was told to get the 7 but Jeff's heard that 7 doesn't have the image stabilization but the 5 does, thanks Life is a series of wonderful opportunities, brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. tonysuits.com

What, just a hug? jeeze, I'm not sure it's worth the 8 hour trip anymore ---------------------------------- more than you got from me

anyone think the 4th pic looks like a webbie

oh gosh that post sounded rude, I do apoligise, yes.......... lets go fly past the Matterhorn Life is a series of wonderful opportunities, brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. tonysuits.com

I've got you covered!:-) What about a Matterhorn flyby, mountain swooping, glacier landing trip?! -------------------------------- Matterhorn???? we have bigger mountains in Florida, ok.............we'll do your silly euro mountain Life is a series of wonderful opportunities, brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. tonysuits.com
