There was a picture in Skydiving magazine some time ago - birdman tandem (both jumpers were wearing wingsuits). I think one of them was Vladi Pesa. Basically it was like a biplane.

I was going to do it at my dz.. it's been done, vladi did it at deland a while back (which is where I got the idea) i wanted to do it, and had a TM who said okay but had seconds thoughts... jari and vladi both said it really wasn't worth repeating, they didn't get hardly any drive and it is kinda risky. But they did exactly what you're saying, think they threw the drouge out around 6 or 8k.

As to the "how would the tandem master reach..." question: an understanding of wingsuit function would tell you that there is no problem releasing your arms. That said, as with any "stunt", I am sure the minimum altitudes were adjusted up to compensate for the added risk.

IF NOT,he should be abel to cut my wings and then get the room. As we´re under canopy i´ll use my LQRS to get movebility in the landing.. All i need is an fresh TM i might know one who want but who knows...it better be a TM i trust or i might be the first to land a suit,only wearing a passenger hardness,i really dont like the idea of other controling the canopy down...Last time i tryed we unhooked me and released me,lucky i had gear on the saved my poor ass Stay safe Stefan Faber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Sirob 0 #14 August 31, 2003 BirdMan Robert and Nenad Pesut made WS tandem jump on 17.6.2000. in Vrsar (Croatia). Robert had Skyflyer prototype and Nenad had Classic WS. They jumped from 4000 meters, freefall was without drouge till 1500 meters and opening at 1200 meters. As they said, jump was fun, without problem, very easy and they felt some lift during FF.
