About Phoenix-Fly

Phoenix Fly is a cutting edge new company dedicated to the design, development and production of BASE, skydiving and sport suits and garments. (Pants, jackets, gloves, etc.)

Phoenix Fly’s main goal is the production of state-of-the-art high performance wingsuits for BASE-jumping and skydiving. Efforts will also include tracking pants, jackets and other accessories for BASE and skydiving.

The founder of Phoenix Fly is Robert Pecnik, the designer of the first commercial wingsuit and co-founder of BirdMan International, Inc.

Robert started his skydiving career in Zagreb, Croatia in 1982. Since his early skydiving days, he has produced and tailored a number of RW suits. In 1997, inspired by the late Patrick de Gayardon, Robert began working on a new wingsuit design. His first design was revolutionary, primarily in the field of safety. The quick wing release system provided the wingsuit flyer with the option to quickly and safely detach the wings in case of an emergency; thus enabling the jumper to continue his jump like a regular skydive by allowing complete movement of the arms.

Robert has designed a number of improved wingsuits that have reached performance levels that until now were never thought to be possible.

Today, Robert is reaching new heights with his new company, Phoenix Fly. The company will soon introduce even more advanced wingsuits with improved flight characteristics. These suits are expected to hit the market in late August, 2004. The new Phoenix Fly BASE pants and jackets will be available in mid to late July.

The Phoenix Fly website with a complete on-line catalog that includes pictures as well as a full description of all products and electronic ordering will be fully functional by the beginning of August, 2004.
