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.
