piisfish 136 #1 August 24, 2006 You might have seen the "ground" testing of the Giboline 1 HERE, here are the 1st pictures of Giboline 2, Gibolin's new homemade wingsuit... The suit should fly this weekend, weather permitting. Enjoy the flights my friend, and thanks for all the research you're doing.scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccordia 73 #2 August 24, 2006 Verry cool..it looks like an S3 legwing combined with (bigger) Classic-style armwings? Shoppingbag-1 would sound like a cooler name though) Would be great to have the wings made from the same clear-plastic on both sides..you could fly base on a big jump, and actually see whats happening behind youJC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

piisfish 136 #3 August 24, 2006 Will ask him if he has the intention of doing a full transparent suit... Will finally give a sense to Naked Wingsuiting, Gibolin is an imaginary liquid you can use for everything.scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mccordia 73 #9 August 25, 2006 Is the tail-deflector rigid (inflated by airpressure) or solid? *edit* sounded a bit weird, so what I ment is 'does it fill up with air, or is there foam or something like that inside'JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

pierre3636 0 #11 August 25, 2006 the tail deflector looks funny .... if its not rigid then how will it shape the air flow over the tail wing ...looking at the first picture it looks like a big hole in the centre of the body... im sure they will have some explination - that aside nice work ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gibolin 0 #14 August 26, 2006 The tail deflector is an inflating system. It should allow a better comfort in the plane and better mobility. I can now make almost any inflating shape with a system based on foam model shaped by hand, then covered with ZP material and finally sewed. I'm experiencing also other new materials. The Mylar on the extrados of the wing for instance is not doubled yet for flexibility reasons. It's not a "rigid wings" wingsuit.
