Check it out!
On the way up during a 9000ft feet jump at the end of the day, Werner and I were planning on playing/testing a new footmount for my videocamera. Several of the jumpers asked for a canopy flyby, and we gladly complied.
Diving at 120mph, I managed to flare the Phoenix-Fly Stealth2 prototype wingsuit down to 8.28 mph (13,3 km/h) for a about 1,5 seconds. Climbing/gaining altitude relative to the tandem-canopy while passing it. Forward speed at that point is around 120 or so km/h (rough estemate).
The footmount needs some re-enforcement to get rid of the shake.
More experiments to follow soon!
