A Flysight with audio feedback gives you instant information about how your body position affects the flight performance. Thanks, I just got one at Christmas time, but prior to this weekend kept forgetting to bring my helmet home with me so that I could get it mounted up. I plan to play with that while using the techniques that Lurch so kindly provided to me via a PM. Hopefully with the two I'll be able to improve dramatically. you have my number too, give me a call Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121

we have two dc-3s at our dz, neither fly. but they sure are fun to drink beer in. they used them for mosquito control a few years ago. one is silver with a bunch of jungle animals painted on it, seemed fitting! id like to jump one someday, and the jet.

im down for a dc-3 jump or two in florida Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121

i am 145 and jumped an x1 yesterday, got down to 23 mph vertical. i fell in love with the suit! and we did some cool flocks with rob as the base in a rbird. then scotty was the base for the newbie flock. good times! Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121

this is suppose to be a forum FOR wingsuiters to HELP wingsuiters. can someone just make an anonamous proflie and let us know where the damn wingsuits are banned other than miami? jesus guys what a shitstorm. by all means share the info on how to exit safely, but let the experienced guys that travel know where they cant jump too. i for one will not be traveling to a dropzone that is known to have banned wingsuits. and i will freely share that information with my fellow wingsuiters. someone pm me, ill share the info, without an anonamous profile Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121

thanks harrrrrrry and errrrka, i can now say your names right! good flying with you guys too! Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121

im pretty high strung too, seems that skydiving helps me chillout, all week long i just think of the weekend and the jumps, gets me by, and before you know it its the weekend again! mabye try and not think about the next jump you do, just let it happen. once you get the comfort of falling its hard to not go back to it. or work at the snack bar Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121

here is an idea, just an idea: height divided by weight= X 72" jumper that weigs 180lbs= 2.5 lbs per inch then group people accordingly to their loading... you can create as many "classes" of loadings as you please. if someone is on the cusp of a class then you can go to the weight adding and such. but this still does not address the size of wingsuit to the loading of the body. could we measure different suits and get an average sq foot/inch for each suit to be used as a standard. then use the loading formula over the foot/inch size of the wingsuit to determine actual loading of the wingsuit? i know you guys will say that a 6' suit and a 5' suit of the same design will have different foot/inch size measurments. but if we measure the same 6' suit against other suit designs at 6' then it should take the variable out of the equasion. im just throwing ideas out there, i know this is not the WBR, but if we come up with a fair way to judge loading then who knows how far it could go. im open to any ideas and criticism. and DSE i agree that right now we do not have enough competitors to fill all of these "classes" but this sport is growing and who knows how many competitors we will have in 20yrs.

send me a pm about a week before you come to florida, i am a local and a wingsuiter. i travel to zhills, sebastian, clewiston basically every weekend. and i have a drivers liscense sebastian is almost 3 hours from zhills, but worth the drive on weekends. as far as rig rental im pretty sure it is on a per jump basis. i think $25... and a $6 pack job. but you might be able to work something out. give them a call 813 783 9399 Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121

lurch, im really liking your idea on this, what about wingloading on the wingsuit? i know that a 5' guy and a 6' guy in a p2 should have about the same amount of fabric in comparison to their bodies. but if the 5' guy is 200lbs and the 6' guy is 150lbs then i see a definate advantage there. depending on the discipline. im just trying to figure out how we could get categories for: size of flier, weight of flier, and size of wingsuit all together where it will work and level the playing field. does pilot height really make a difference if the suits are the same make and the pilots are loading them the same? Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121

right now zhills has: a skyvan, a caravan, and two otters. that would make my mind up right there Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121

hmmm, ive never seen one executed. thanks for the info, ill have to try that this weekend! Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121

I just saw this happen yesterday, really suprised me, I was approaching from behind.... once on the ground the flyier was asking what was going with the tail. Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121

I think Alien Suits are made in a Chineese factory yes...Ive seen those. And a correction, I just spoke to the factory. Leadtime on PF suits is now 6 weeks (plus postage) jarno do you have any idea on the v4 production times? thanks allot! Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121

i make boards as well. are you using carbon fibre and epoxy? or is it just a closed cell foam and poly board? id say if you have interset in the sport i would take the rig to a rigger and have them inspect it and give you a value on the rig. then make the descision if its worth it to you or not. i know in this economy there arent many people willing to pay $1000 for a surfboard, especially two of them.

i thought we were beyond that doug? you know ive apologised to you quite a few times publicly and in pms. im sorry man! i was new to big groups at the time. i have learned allot from that experience, and will not make the same mistake again. i hope we can fly together again and i can show you im not just some jerkoff. i made a bad call. i know better now. can we leave this in the past? and i dont remember laughing about anything after that incident... as i remember everyone on the load landed off, i downwinded in a trailerpark, i was not laughing.... at all.... If you permanently disable/injure anyone or destroy their gear due to lacking skills, you gonna laugh about that again too? LOL. Sorry, just had to. Boogie sounds like a blast. Hope to be able to attend, thanks for announcing it so early this year, Scott/Scotty. Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121
