yuri_base 1 #2 October 18, 2006 Very interesting! What glide ratio are you getting? And what is that dart thing on the helmet?Android+Wear/iOS/Windows apps: L/D Vario, Smart Altimeter, Rockdrop Pro, Wingsuit FAP iOS only: L/D Magic Windows only: WS Studio Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KrisFlyZ 0 #7 October 19, 2006 I have heard this big leg wing leading edge(moving it backand....) on the leg wing theory a couple of times. Can you post your thoughts on this and the following? a) We have such little wing area ...is losing any amount of it to a big hole in the leg wing justified? On Robi's designs the the butt deflector fills up the hole. On your suit, the hole seems(if I am seeing it correctly) to let air to pass around the butt deflector. b) The newer designs that have proved themselves for glide...have less drag and bigger surface area(in a more air friendly aspect ratio) than previous designs(and are also if the body shape allows naturally nose down to cut thru the air). How much 'lift' do you think is coming from the design (other than the size and thickness) of the wing. Kris. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
