lazyfrog 0 #2 December 1, 2003 as far as I know, you can get somewhere between 3 and 4... depending on who is in the suit ---------- Fumer tue, péter pue ------------- ourson #10, Mosquito Uno, CBT 579 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gus 1 #3 December 1, 2003 I can't find it now but thought Yuri posted about getting a ratio of 2.4:1 and that being pretty awesome. It's difficult to measure with GPS unless you can also measure what the wind is doing. GusOutpatientsOnline.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonto 1 #4 December 1, 2003 3 to 4 sounds very optimistic to me. The dude on the rigid wing channel crossing only needed a glide ratio of 3.. (And I still think he cheated - no info on exit and opening points..) tIt's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lazyfrog 0 #5 December 1, 2003 the other dude who crossed lake Geneva arrived at close to 4 (the guy is Yves Rossy with semi rigid/inflatable wings)---------- Fumer tue, péter pue ------------- ourson #10, Mosquito Uno, CBT 579 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
