jerry81 10 #26 May 5, 2004 Quoteanyone know what rig and what setup robert used on this jump? this is totaly WOW ws Xtreme container with a Troll 245. I think he had a large-hole mesh slider, but don't take my word for it... And of course his slightly modified SF3...I still believe he could probably fly that thing up if he wanted.

kevin922 0 #33 May 6, 2004 Its the same fabric that is being used with hang gliders.. I saw that suit at bridge day.. it is a sf4 prototype, not sure that is what he was flying in the video but that's what's in the picture. Mylar ribs in the wings... and that funky fabric on the leading edge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The111 0 #34 May 6, 2004 I made a jump with Jari and his arm wings each had a rigid plastic rib between the two outermost cells, if that makes any sense. Not sure if it was a S4 prototype per se, but it definitely was something more than an S3.www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mylar ribs in the wings... and that funky fabric on the leading edge. Sounds like the one he had in Bovec (where those flights were made), yeah. Rigid ribs in the wings and that fabric on the leading edge, plus I think the tail extends a bit further than on a regular sf3. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crimpfiend 0 #36 May 6, 2004 Robert's alive, kickin', workin' his butt off & doing more unbelievable flights. I'm sure more sick vids will follow soon. He truly is da man! He's also got many more cutting-edge projects in the hopper. Stay tuned...
