Wingsuit mod of the container

[snafuhere 0]

Do you use this mod? Why? Why not?
Is it worth anything?
How about freeflying a container with wingsuit mod?

I use it, and I think it helps a bit (can't hurt).

It is fine for freeflying.

Many other posts about this

This is talked about in about five other threads in this forum, but yes, I use it on both of my rigs and yes, it aids in cleaner deployments. I do every type of skydiving with my rigs and haven't had any ill effects whatsoever with my cut corners.

I have a long bridle and no mods on my Icon .. that works well for me.

Long Bridal and corner mods on both my G3 and G4, and no problems on any other kinds of skydives.

Wings container with mod and long bridle. Seems to work well.

Racer 2k3. Corners are open normally anyway, from what I've seen, so that's a non-issue. I do have a the longer bridle combined with a smaller pilot chute, which seems to work perfectly.

Why smaller PC ? The normal recommendation is to get slightly larger PC due to the extra burble and slower descent rate when using WS. On WS BASE for example people generally use 36"-38" PC's when on standard terminals they use 32"-36"'s. Still, I've been skydyving with wings standard ZP PC for about 100 wingsuitflights and had no problem with it.

It's what shipped with my 2k3. Honestly, it did worry me at first as it is quite a bit smaller than the PC's I was using, but as of yet I have had no problems at all. No hesitations either. The next time I pull it out of the pouch, I'll actually measure it.

Isn't that a bit tricky at 3500ft?

OK, the next time I have it out, ON THE GROUND....


It's been a non-issue with the old classic and the S-1 I've been flying, but I'm planning on an S3-S later this fall/earlier this winter, and it's possible that the increased performance/burble may cause a problem, but it's nothing a few test jumps won't answer...
