Grand tourisme injection Which suposedly stands for driving pleasure, great handling and vehicle perfection No clue how all this applies to wingsuits...but it probably just sounded cool JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

vesatoro 0 #3 December 23, 2004 Well, in fact there are some prototype wingsuits around which are somewhere between the Skyflyer and S3, which in a way could be called S2. At least maretus here has one. It has about the wing size of S3, but what i have understood an older wing profile and no grippers at wingtips.

LouDiamond 1 #4 December 23, 2004 There is an old thread on this and Jari actually posted to it. Do a search on it using Jari's posts and you should find it. There are some pre S3/protos out there that were never officially given either a 2 or 4 designator or marketed. I know glen(vectorboy) has a pre S3/proto suit and a few others that have what some might call and S4 . All of those suits were building blocks to the suits now for sale to the public. In fact the S4 protos were the beginnings of Robi's V1."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, I fly "S2" but it doesn't have the same wing size than S3. My "S2" has slightly narrower leg wing compared to S3 and the trailing edge of the leg wing goes straight from ankle to ankle, as in S3 it is slightly curved. Arm wings are pretty much similiar (in size) than in S3 but as Vesa said, they probably have older wing profile. http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/masaari/photo3.jpg Picture of me flying my S2 over Everöd, Sverige.

TomAiello 26 #6 December 25, 2004 It's also my understanding that not all the "S2's" were the same. They sent out variations to try different things out, as I recall.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VectorBoy 0 #7 December 26, 2004 My pre-S3 is the same wing size and shape as production with the exception of back vents and airlocks for inverted flight. And it had no grippers. Now it has Phatboy grippers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
