LouDiamond 1 #2 April 12, 2006 Hard to be certain from that picture but it looks similar to the French rigs the skydiving club here in Colombia uses. I believe it is called a Module."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piisfish 140 #3 April 12, 2006 apparently a Vectra from Parachute Shop, french manufacturer. www.parachute-shop.com/html/gb/harness.htmscissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remster 30 #4 April 12, 2006 Not the same as the pic... unless its an older version of the Vectra. Notice the riser cover junction between the main and reserve tray area. Fournier's rig has the same V as the Infinity (its not one tho). Edit: looks to me like a Vector 2 or clone.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

piisfish 140 #8 April 13, 2006 QuoteAny one think of asking Michel Fournier?he still needs 200k € for the jump, apparently postponed to september already. He would charge for a reply... He is the funnest subject in french skydiving. A bit like Lutz in the US.scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pchapman 279 #10 April 13, 2006 Quote He is the funnest subject in french skydiving. A bit like Lutz in the US. Over in Europe you know more about him and must have some reason to make fun of him. But when all the recent high altitude attempts got going, there were about 4 or 5 people going for it. I don't really know the situation, but the only ones I hear really doing anything are Fournier and Stearns. And even Stearns gave up the attempt for a while. Fournier actually travelled to his launch site a number of times in preparation to go. He had various problems like a torn balloon, or a vital ground crew member with a heart attack. Unless it was a big scam, it seemed as if Fournier was truly trying to get ready to launch, and not just taking a holiday in Saskatchewan, Canada for some reason. So maybe he's an odd fellow, or isn't current in regular skydiving, but on the surface he has significant credibility in the high altitude race relative to his competitors. I really don't know the details so I am curious why he's such a joke! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
