Gibolin

Got in touch with Andreas Küttel. Great guy btw! Thanks for the advise! ;-) Gibolin from Switzerland

Wow, that's awesome!!! Veeeery interesting to analyse! He seems to reach the "red line" of the slope: does it mean he has increased his glide ratio until the limit of the slope? Another observation: from the profile angle camera, his position is quite "vertical", certainly preparing for the landing on the skis. So he is decreasing his speed mostly with that position. Now imagine a belly landing is possible: the angle of the body would be more efficient for taking most advantage of the lift generated by the suit. In the other hand, the shock of impact of the skis on the ground is impressive, and should break the ribcage of a normal human body, hum... Thanks for this posting Jarno! ;-) Btw: I could not reach you by mail within the last months (for the testing of the G3 prototype). What about an attempt next sping?). My mail: [email protected] Fly high! Boris Gibolin from Switzerland

My idea is that the "landing gear" is a key factor, such as the preparation of the project. The "step by step method" proved to be a good one for my personnal projects so far. So here is the idea: the one who masters the sliding on a steep ski slope at very high speed and can take-off a wingsuit, will be able to land as well. So why not take the challenge by this angle? Then you can try to land after a jump from a ski jump (like the ones i've visited this summer in Norway: small for beginners, big for experts. And btw, how fun it could be to play with a wingsuit from a skijump, with the same risks as for ski jumpers, without a plane and a parachute!)... ;-) Then comes the part where you increase the speed and altitude of the start of the jump.

... a"super V3" in fact! Gibolin from Switzerland

Yessss! The adventure can keep going. Let's all see if the results can be that good with proper tests! Happy to see the community is moving its ass for the project, thanks! Put a smile mon my face! Btw: Fish, did you get my SMS yesterday? Gibolin from Switzerland

Ok, you mark one point!... But it's a tricky game: you don't claim anything, people don't pay attention. That's a fact of life... You deserve the naked truth maybe: While finishing the proto nr 3, I've been working 10 hours a day during 2 months, because I was jobless. At the very end of the work, my wife was giving birth to my second child. My reserve chute was due to repack, the Cypress was over, and my license too. When it was still time to do the tests (chute still ok, measure tools ok, pilot ok), the manufacturer didn't send the demo suit for comparison. So the only measure was on the 1st test flight. Not enough to be published a proper way. But the measures were read on the tool for sure. New tests must be done to prove anything. Sorry for those who thought they had been lied...

Hector: you beat them all ! Do keep your Aloha spirit, mate! Gibolin from Switzerland

You really think like a manufacturer... Gibolin from Switzerland

Si le Fish n'existait pas, il faudrait l'inventer!... Bisou! Gibolin from Switzerland

Wise interpretation. Congrats! I'm a physiotherapist. I've interested myself in the anatomical component of the wingsuit. A bad body position in the best wingsuit flies badly. A good body position makes a big part of the performance. Now take a wingsuit which helps a bad flyer having the proper position. What could be the result?... Gibolin from Switzerland

If I could find a test pilot tall enough! I'm 1m89. 1m85 is ok (Olivier Vietti's height). Otherwise, it might be too small I fear... Gibolin from Switzerland

This is what I was looking for! Thanks! Now let's see how we can make it. Be sure all skydivers will benefit from all this. I don't do it for myself, I do it for the passion which has driven the last 20 years of my life!... I'll answer you privately. See ya and thanks again! Gibolin from Switzerland

It took some time to be understood, but here it is! Thank you guys! I'll answer you privately. Thanks again, we can go forward finally... Gibolin from Switzerland

Keep being a happy dude, Dude! Gibolin from Switzerland
