Are Gti's Good beginner Suits?

[Stu]

I have been trying to find a classic II that will fit my frame without having to have one custom made at BM. I have had no luck. Although the market seems to be flooded with used Gti's. So far I have heard that the smart way to go about learning to fly a wing suit is to start with a classic II, on the conservative side, on the other hand I have also been hearing about success with Gti's and beginner flyers. I am really wanting to start flying, although I don't want to kill myself by making a flight with a wing that is way to advanced for me. Anyone have some advise they could give to futher my choice? Let me know. Thanks :confused:

It is not un-heard of for a heads up student to be started on a GTi. Or for a person who has say a couple of classic jumps (obviously without problems) to go to a GTi.

I would advise you try and hook up with a BMI / PFI / Experienced wingsuit pilot who can assist you.

Hope this helps,

Well I have offically turned to the dark side. I made my first wing suit flight the other day with my GTi, O MY GOD. What an amazing feeling to begin learning the purist form of human flight. Scary but amazing. The suit was amazing to fly, although the exit out of the cessna was a little shakey, the flight and the pull sequence went excellent. I can not wait to learn more.

CA-CAH,
