jf951 1 #3 November 7, 2010 any ideas on how he controls that thing? is it just "flying your body" like a wingsuit-ish? or are there flaps more like an airplane i saw a different video on him and he has a dial on his hand for the throttle but i didnt notice much moreJump more, Bitch less.

piisfish 140 #4 November 7, 2010 the throttle in the fingers is one of the only controls, together with the smoke switch. besides that it is body-flying. The 1st version of the wing had ailerons which caused more trouble than they solved.scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

piisfish 140 #6 November 7, 2010 major modifications between the "Channel" wing and this one. Radically different shapes (my delta shape, rather than the very wide "vulture" shape he had before), which gives a much more controlable and "playing" wing.scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
