Hello,
I removed the rigid ribs from my S3S.
My S3SR flies awesome.

Nice! I often thought if I ever had a suit with rigid inserts I might have to do the same thing.

Did you leave a center one in the leg wing or all they all gone? Does the leg flap without the stiffeners when maxed?

PeteS took them all out for him. Avery said it fly's the same, but he was jumping with a couple of faster falling birds. I hope to get more input from him when I have the chance to fly with him.

I noticed the rigid ribs ad a lot stability, and prevent the wing collapsing during weird rolls/turns, especialy with high speed dives/flight and when you're doing a lot of 'aeroatic' style flying.
And it adds a lot of stabilty and takes away of lot of flapping issues with backflying.

My only gripe with mylar was with the 'packing' of my wingsuit.
And depending on the batch of mylar used in your suit, some tend to break fast (though my S3S is still like its new, no breaks at all)

But with the newer materials being used, those mylar issues are luckely a thing of the past...

I figured the wider legs of some suits really benefit from a stringer or two down the center to keep the trailing edge from flapping. I believe that the matter 2 could have used this instead of a bigger inlet.

I don't think full rib profile sections are required just something longitudinal.
