Deniq 0 #6 April 22, 2009 Quote Quote You don't need it, if you don't jump BASE. So, that why do you need it with BASE? The mylar ribs in the leg wing are for additional stabilization of the wing at high-speed flights (horizontal speed from 200 kmh). A wingsuit with mylar ribs bring in this case 5-10% more efficiency during the flight. The handling of a wingsuit with mylar ribs need more attention. In skydive environment for example you will have additional problems with the ribs in airplanes because of space limitation during the climb. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or it can be one more reason not to have them for BASE either. I don't need the, I could not ever fly faster than 180 Km/h. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notsane 0 #8 April 22, 2009 Unless you never, ever plan on back-flying; order the back inlets. I've haven't had any good experience with mylar inserts ... they're just something else to break, and break they do. I'd avoid them like the plague. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkymonkeyONE 3 #11 April 27, 2009 Yes to the backvents, no to the mylar for the same reasons already listed. The Phantom2 is my "default" suit. I only take it off when I really want to haul ass or go very, very far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
