Vodoo wing flyer setup

[ostadler 0]

Hello all,

I plan on purchasing another Vodoo gear which is used mainly for wingsuit flying. Now I found that there is a special wing flyer setup from Rigging Innovations. That means that the bridle is longer, the pilotechute is one size larger, and the corners of the main container are left open for smoother deployment.
Now my question is: Does anybody here has tried this setup? Any opinions on this? What exactly does it mean when the main container corners are left open?
Can I still use this modified gear for Freefly?

Maybe some folks out there already have this setup and can share some thoughts!

Thanks a lot,

Greetings from sunny Munich, Germany,

Oliver

I can not see any reason why not.

I jump Vector2 and Javelin with wing suit without modifications, just a longer bridle.

Hey, Oliver -

Shoot a PM to Spot - I believe he has a rig with this mod, and should be able to give you some more info.

Signatures are the new black.

Hi Oliver. The winsuit mod will work fine for freeflying, like the post above this one, send a pm to DSE. He has two Voodoo with the wingsuit mods from the factory.

Hi Oliver,
I have two Voodoos, both with wingsuit mod.
-This is a stunt jump

-Wingsuit jump

-Several pix of the Voodoo from different sides

FWIW, I've owned three previous RI rigs, a Mirage, a Jav, and a Stunts Eclipse. I currently jump the two Voodoos most of the time, and have an FX as well. Love em' all.
The open tray that is part of the wingsuit mod is very comfortable in freefly or RW jumps. I did a jump a couple days ago on my FX and the difference in opening threw me a little; I prefer the feeling of the open tray regardless of whether I'm in a wingsuit or not. I don't pack grommet-up lik a lot of wingsuiters do, and don't experience line twists at all with the open corners.
Packers seem to really like the open corners once they've worked with them; I know I do. I'd much rather pack my Voodoo than my other rigs.
Can you tell I'm a big fan of RI and open corners?

Ask Brenda/Kit about the embroidered Voodoo eye; it's a little more spendy, but after a few hundred jumps, my Voodoo eye still looks like it came off the showroom floor instead of being frayed and worn.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Lower corners on Voodoos overlap so much that main d-bag or lines should remain covered no matter what wind angle you expose them to.
