gus 1 #2 May 12, 2005 Bird man anti line twist D bag......as in one of the options on a Wings container? Is that what you're talking about? Check out this thread for a bit of info. It's basically a triangle of fabric sewn across the length of the dbag so the bag is extracted more evenly rather than just around the bridle attachment point. That's really badly described though . It turns the dbag from: []---- to: []>--- Where [] is the bag, ---- is the bridle and > is the triangle of fabric. I have it on my Wings but I can't say I've noticed a significant difference in my openings. Edited to add: there's a pic of it on the Wings website.

pbla4024 0 #5 May 12, 2005 I have it. Quite nice trick. It keeps bridle allways perpendicular to D-bag, no matter what's your position. IMHO it's worth of it. Fido Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JGarcia 0 #6 May 12, 2005 I have it on my 2nd Wings container that I ordered with all the "BirdMan" options... it's a rather great idea, and I like how it keeps the bridle in the center of the d-bag at all times. I think I saw Greg Gasson jumping these kind of d-bags for wing suit jumps out in Eloy a couple of years ago and remember thinking that it was a great idea. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to put too many jumps on it while flying my Skyflyer, but the flights that I have done have had great openings. Kinda wishing I had that D-bag 2 weeks earlier since I had to cut away during a bad spinning/diving line twist incident during the Dublin Boogie.
