FlyinBob 0 #51 January 27, 2006 Pilot 132 in Wings EXT with all the WS mods. Good stable openings and nice flight characteristics. Only downside to the Wings EXT is the longer narrower container makes it harder for rodeo riders to hold on with their knees (less "sadle" in the small of my back). Old Guys Rock!

SkymonkeyONE 3 #52 January 27, 2006 On that note, there might be a few people wondering why smaller guys like me would prefer the EXT over the "normal" Wings. Simple: the slightly longer (but narrower) container makes for less of a reach at pull time. I don't use the BASE pouch on my wingsuits and that little bit of extra length makes a difference.

Yes, tragically that option doesn't come along with the other WS options, and is the hardest to get, since it's only made for certain sizes.. edit: I think you have to be 135/150 or smaller combo to qualify.."The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it.

FlyinBob 0 #54 January 29, 2006 Point of Information: I got an EXT because I am 73" tall (that's 5'13") and 195 lbs. An old right shoulder separation and rotator cuff injury from 20 years ago make it harder for me to wind my right hand very far up my back, so I like the lower placement of the hackey with the longer/narrower EXT.
