Buffdiver 0 #1 October 16, 2006 I had a few people talk about this in another post i had here. Does anyone know of people here in the States modifying the leg wing on the skyflyer by adding cells to make the stance wider. Im curious to how difficult and expensive this would be to do. Just curious if this would be worth getting into. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #2 October 16, 2006 I don't know anyone in the states that has done it yet, but I bet you could find a really good rigger to give it a shot there in CO. Why not ask Derek V. (hooknswoop) if he would give it a try? If that does not pan out, I am guessing that you could get it done in Z-hills. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not implying his intention was to make it look like a V-1... the reason for the legwing mod, as I understand it, was to repair some tearing that was occuring from backflying flappage. There was a pic of his suit in classifieds for a while, I'm too lazy to look for it now. www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites KrisFlyZ 0 #8 October 16, 2006 Hey...I think he added triangles to the leg wing to make it more like the S-3s leg wing..I don't think he added anything below the wing line if you know what I am talking about ..its not in the classifieds anymore....I say S-3s because I remember reading it in the ad.
