divinglog 0 #1 October 18, 2006 Hi I'm going to order a S6 and asking me if it's recommended to order the Legwing Quickrelease option? Thanks for your advice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Kunstrasen 0 #2 October 18, 2006 Hi, was in the same situation. Currently have a GTI without LQRS. However as the cost adder is not that high, I ordered it on the S6. I think it is additional safety, e.g. if you are low (maybe under your reserve), or if leg zippers are jammed you can easily and quickly open the leg wing. Free legs help a lot on landing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Costyn 1 #3 October 18, 2006 Yeah I'd recommend getting it. If you're ever in trouble, for instance low under your reserve and finding yourself having to land downwind (for example), it's nice to be able to get that leg wing off quickly. Yeah, it's a bit of a stretch, the scenario, but I have heard of a story of a guy who was in the habit of just leaving his leg wing zipped up (it was a Phantom I believe, so enough "leg room" to walk out most landing), but this guy made a downwind landing one time and he got really badly messed up.Costyn van Dongen - http://www.flylikebrick.com/ - World Wide Wingsuit News Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites SkymonkeyONE 4 #4 October 18, 2006 I have never used my LQRS on any of the five suits that I have had that option on, but I am glad it's there.

It made sense for S1 with a narrow leg wing, but on the new suits with wider wings you can usually kick out without opening the leg wing. No harm in having LQRS, but no real need either.
