Hi, the suit I am redesigning is more along the lines of a PF suit, the pants are slightly different and it has a few features and changes that are different from the Phoenix Fly suit. I figured the air inlets in that sketch would be a good approximation for the suit. Anyone have some feedback on it? anything you think could be improved? It does have the toe clips with the stiffener in it, its just not drawn in. There's been some back and forth at our DZ about whether or not it's a wingsuit or tracking suit and it's hung up for now to avoid drama. I figured I'd keep my tracking suit simple and keep the wings to my wingsuit project. Thanks for any help! Nick "As soon as you're born you start dying.

I figured this would be the best place to post this. I modified some old snow gear into a tracking suit, like the Birdman Impact suit. I just recently got to jump it and it flies awesome and is super fun but seems to have some inflation issues. I'd like to redo the suit from the ground up, but I want to make sure the suit inflates properly. Does anyone have any insight they could share? I'm going to try and look at a PF suit this weekend but I don't have any way of taking one home while I work. When all the jumpers with PF suits stand in the prop wash of the Otter to board their suits happily inflate, but mine...well, doesn't. If anyone could post some pics of the PF inlets or how many are where on the suit and such that would help a ton! If you look closely in one of the pictures you can see the scoops on each arm and the inlets on the sides of the legs. The other pic is taken right out the door and the suit is clearly not inflated. =( Thanks! Nick "As soon as you're born you start dying.
