Hi, I know body position is best "observed" but can you help me to describe the ideal body position for the three types of BM suit. Optimal flying position (specific: best glide distance) Draft 1 - I am not an expert! Just MO For all the suits you should "open" the wings fully - but not try to break the stitching. Classic II - legs straight, toes pointed, elbows rolled forward slightly, chin tucked, shoulders rolled forward, slight de-arch at hips. GTi - as Classic 2 (?) SF - legs slightly bent at the knee, with knees forward exposing "leg inlet", elbows rolled forward slightly, hands holding wing tips, chin tucked, shoulders rolled forward, slight de-arch - pushing bum in the air, toes not pointed(?) Any differences for S3? My main reason to post is to find opinions on the optimal SF position. My specific query is knee position on the SF - should I drop my knees or is it better to have straight legs and pointed toes. I have tried both positions but have not come to any firm conclusions. Maybe Santa will give me a GPS for Christmas ;) I need to do more test jumps to determine the performance difference. One last question - when you fly for distance, what is your angle of attack relative to the horizontal? Head high or head low, - 5° + 5° ? I always thought I flew slightly head low, but after reviewing recent ground footage of a flight I was surprised to see I was actually flying head high like "a landing aircraft" (to quote my friend filming)! long flights, jb baby bird with 100 flights btw. I made a quick search on this subject before posting, but apologise if this has been covered before.
