flying up?

Recommended Posts

I don't know how stupid a question this is however I am curious if anyone has seen the effect of closing the legs so only the top wing (your arms) is open on descent. I am designing a suit and am curious to get as much information as I can to see if I can do what I expect. I am trying to get my legs down before I pop and I don't know how maneuverable you are. Any information would be gladly appreciated.Thanks Gavin:S

I don't get what you are asking here. Are you saying that you are planning on building a suit with no leg wing? If so, then I can assure you that you are not going to do anything other than fall basically straight down, albiet slower than a regular jumper. Think inflatable camera-wing suit.

If you mean you are trying to collapse the leg wing before pulling, it should be no problem. But you'd probably be better off collapsing everything (arm wings too) for a 5 seconds, then pulling. Leaving the arm wings open but collapsing the leg wing sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.

I may have misunderstood, though. Can you elaborate on the question?
