rsx_tech · May 8th, 2005, 03:19 PM

No,i guess we will have to wait untill summer to see some reality pics.

ah, summer. I heard suit will be out in a few weeks (June). Strange no photos as the suit was tested in tunnel. Keeps us excited at least

Exited

haha you seem to want all the suits on the market, depends what you are looking for I guess; flocking, glide, time, acro etc. Easy solution is to get them all

did you check out the links I sent you?

I don't understand why the PHI is only being offered in stock sizes and colors as instead of special orders. It seams like any wingsuit would fly better if it was made custom for you. What's the deal?

It's easy: cost. There's an interesting post here by Bill Booth talking about building custom rigs and what a pain in the arse it is. Same goes for wingsuits I imagine.

The PHI/S3S/ S5/?? will be available in custom colors and sizing. In order to keep the masses happy, stock colors are currently being offered for those who can't wait. Yes, there are pictures, it does exist(PHI, S3S, S5 and a few other surprises as well). When it is time, they will be released. Not much longer now, be patient

I am starting to BASE jump. I was told that I would be good with a wing suit because of my weight of 110 lb. How long should I BASE for before I get a suit?
