  3. due to teh respect I have for my fellow humans, animals, vegetals, and anything valuable on this planet, I decided to stay away from any kind of music instrument, including microphones. farting in 4 tonalities is not a musical option. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

  7. a french stuntman did that stunt walking on the wing of a glider to another glider in flight... did 6 rehearsals with a chute on, the 7th was the one without the rig, only a tandem passenger harness... he fell and unfortunately the skydivers who were there "in case" didnt manage to catch him... that was 10-15 years ago.. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  8. he crossed lake geneva from Evian to Lausanne (16km) exiting at 6000 meters, inflating the wings, control check parallel to the french coast, and then crossed... deployed at 2000 meters... but if you want one, you have to build it for yourself he is now working on a version with a bigger wingspan, and with a small turbine on it (like 10kg thrust) to try and acheive a level flight... Seems he is inventing the human airplane or something... scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
