medusa 0 #1 December 3, 2011 I'm posting this here because it doesn't fit under Wing suiting, or canopy, or anywhere else. This is what the guys up in Lodi just come up with, people can see our video and share it. Project XXXRW 3D - a film by Brian Drake and Jhonathan Florez http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nVSamCUEv4&feature=related For those without 3D glasses/tv/monitor or on a mobile device that doesn't support YouTube 3D, please view the 2D version here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IALkznsX2Xs All informations about the movie at www.projectxxxrw.com Email is at: info@projectxxxrw.com EnjoyMedusa Get Killed or Die Trying!

skr 1 #6 December 4, 2011 > because it doesn't fit under Wing suiting, or canopy, or anywhere else. That's a good sign. Every time the official world thinks they've got it surrounded, categorized, and ready for some standard, compulsory maneuvers, someone steps outside the framework and goes somewhere else :-) :-) Skr Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weaverd 0 #7 December 4, 2011 really cool...now my question as I dont know much about this, how is the parachutist and wingsuiter able to stay together, is the parachute at a really high wing loading ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris-Ottawa 0 #8 December 4, 2011 High wingloadings are part of it, but the majority of the canopy's speed is from it having an extremely low angle of attack, which is created by "shortening" the front risers using a trim mechanism similar to paragliders, except on the front risers. They open with the front risers at full length, pull the trim tabs to create a high angle of attack (read: speed) and then the wingsuiters come in. When they're low, they release the trim from the risers and land the canopy as normal. *Edit to correct the AOA (High vs Low)"When once you have tasted flight..."

medusa 0 #11 December 5, 2011 Chris is right. But we also have realized that flying with out trim taps gives us a more stable canopy. We are able to fly with diferent pilots with out any trim taps or added weight in some cases. The important thing to pass on, is that this is definitely something that shouldn't be attempted by people with low experience. Cya JFMedusa Get Killed or Die Trying!
