Although I haven't seen one yet I believe the new unit has a flow regulated, wide aspect ratio, angle to the relative wind biased airlock. And the old style had a hole that the air enters through. One is coming to Perris and we'll check it out and post pictures standing in a hallway or dining room,.... of course.

I hope you get the parts back. Carbon fiber can be repaired with the right structural epoxy.

I agree completely, Tony. Flock and Dock is a wingsuit skydiving event; not a BASE event. People with weak arms need not apply to the distance challenge. I'm not a BASE jumper but the fact that we held the Max glide test in the middle of the day between some lengthly flocks insured that not everybody would be fresh to give it 110% from full altitude. There was no way I could measure up to the stamina of some of the 20 something year old mountain climber types also in the challenge. The majority of the guys in high performance suits still covered over a mile from 6 to in the saddle above 2, for some of us that included the whole sport canopy deployment for others with a base canopy shoehorned into a skydiving rig, more flight time and less math. This was a "buy-in" event winner take all, put your money where your flock is. I absolutely knew I would not win but I did it for fun and friendly competition. I was, for me, the most fun jump of the event. I could not have realistically participated from full altitude after flocking all day. From 6 I held my own. Real drag races are held from the quarter mile. You can still hold a 24 hours of Lemans type challenge from full altitude if you like.

The only time I've ever witnessed a flat spin was myself without a wingsuit on my back arms and legs quartered out and spinning flat and fast. The harder I pulled in my arms or legs to ball up the faster the spin got and the G forces would lay me back out flat more tired than before. The proper recovery technique I learned was to go into The delta position, which is the pose you would be in a wingsuit. I have seen a ton of nose down spirals, head low inverted augers and hard side spins out the door, sometimes I do those for fun, but have never seen or been able to replicate a true flat spin in a wingsuit.

Maybe you suck at flocking? -
I'm afraid I need to ask you to hand over your "Guy Card". Rubbish! ALL the best chefs are male. Yeah its not like he sewed a quilt ( a guy can sew a quilt as long as its in between sewing a line set or a patching a canopy but never by itself )

I have never met a manifest bitch. They are all Manifest Goddesses. Easy on watching too much Oprah Tonto. Manifest can be a bitch of of an occupation regardless of gender. Do you need some "boy TV" recommendations?

Not that I recall. Not enough jumps on it to test it to flapage.

Did some wingsuits with that guy and his girl about a year ago. Not too shabby.

You can get a TRi in a hybrid. It has a retractable pilot chute system and phat lines. You can take it to terminal. Don't confuse this model with a strictly CreW version of the tri with an open nose not designed for terminal deployments. But if you want to do CReW get a lightning.

It looks nice but are going to cook in either desert.

Sounds very bavarian or high end asian.

I pay about $20-30 bucks and weld them in myself.

"David Lee Roth to rejoin Van Halen for reunion tour"

Dude, it’s not his bass chops, it’s his backing vocals that will now be lacking in their live performances. Oh I'm aware. His highs were higher than DLRs. -
This is beginning to sound like FUN Chuck is not having fun, he's got restraint, for him to show teeth like that he is not having fun.

Go fuck yourself, Glen. That's just plain annoying at this point. Be real, it was annoying three years ago. It just happens to still be annoying.
