My grandmother has always insisted that she was Irish as her last name is McDonald (something like that). My mom and sisters went on a trip to Ireland and while there ended up running into some nice gentlemen at a pub who informed them that no, my grandmother's maternal name was actually Scottish.

Have you ever installed or worked on an LKM?

They're not common. High security locks that are usually found in secure facilities. Pretty interesting though.

Awesome. Thanks for the quick reply!

Hey Tony. I've been jumping for a couple of years now and just started competing in canopy piloting. I've yet to try a wingsuit, but see it happening in the next year or two. Couple of questions:

  1. What was your thought process behind turning a square into an elliptical?
  2. I currently fly a Velo 90 and love it. With the introduction of the Petra, Peregrine, Leia, and yet-to-be-released PD terminal Peregrine, it feels like we're reaching the outer edge of what's possible with a wing. Knowing that PD & NZA do a bunch of testing that the public doesn't know about, are there any planforms out there that might not have been tested as of yet and may yield higher/faster/farther results?
  3. Squirrel recently burst onto the scene and have been making huge waves in the BASE community. Do you see their meteoric rise continuing or will their time as flavor of the month come to an end as another manufacturer rises or one of the originals releases a new suit?

Thanks!
