greybeard 0 #1 September 12, 2005 How crazy would a Mr. Bill be with a canopy pilot supporting a wingsuited flyer until launch. Like the X-15 launch. Perhaps with a stack below to be target for the wingsuit. Did I say 'target'. Opps. Brings to mind lawn darts. I foresee many practice jumps to calculate the drop before wing inflation and flight trajectory calcs. Any takers? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
faulknerwn 36 #2 September 12, 2005 Wing-suiters have flown by canopy formations on multiple occasions before - we just usually have them leave from the airplane!!! Mr Bill's are challenging enough to do usually without adding in the challenge of all those wings and zippers and everything else to get in the way!

greeny 0 #3 September 19, 2005 drop should be about the same as a base exit, ask around enouth people have done it. my own thinking is that you should be in full flight aprox 700ft below your exit and then on normal glide ratios greeny Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxim 0 #4 September 20, 2005 i dont think it would be nearly as far drop down.. on a base jump they are working with dead air.. out of a plane your got air to work with straight away. havent you ever seen the video's where the wingsuiters use the propblast and get above the plane. Life is Great. Even Greater what we do with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
