The Phoenix is rising!!

[BASE_689]

Dear #880,
what would be incredibly interesting to know is what can be done with such a Prodigy.
I try to say it better.
With environment in BASE, we have fixed references to compare wingsit flights.
To hit the proper landing area at the Italian terminal wall flying with a wingsuit is a good achievement indeed, and any time someone with a new wingsuit flyes farther (or arrives at the landing higher, which the same thing) we have a very clear and definite reference of how good that wingsuit is (and as well of good is the flyer inside the wingsuit).
What would really interesting to know is WHERE a normally good wingsuit flyer could get flying with the Prodigy wingsuit (flying at our terminal wall).
Has Prodigy ever been flown at our terminal wall? Where did the flyer got to?
The above is for knowing if Prodigy is only an entry wingsuit (for a not-yet-wingsuit-pilot) or can even be used for flying properly at our terminal wall.
Thanks

Hey 689,

The Prodigy has been jumped twice from the ITW. Robert managed to get 2/3rds the way to LZ and I also did about the same. With more practice (and from my experience flying suit from plane) - the suit could reach the LZ but I think you would pass over the hill (before the LZ) quite low :/

I think the Prodigy sits between Classic - GTi in terms of performance, but closer to GTi.

Long flights,

J

(There is a video of the Prodigy flying at the ITW on skydivingmovies.com, but it is quite poor quality, shot with wide angle lens from exit)
