outrager 6 #1 June 24, 2007 V2: zero wind, best flights from #1 were to the fence line past White House. 2.0km distance, 930m alt, pulling at 150m and substracting 100m for the start gives L/D of 2.9 (same as at ITW). As a side note, 6m/s tail wind adds about 300m distance or 0.5 L/D at this site Prodigy: #8 to LZ, 1.5km distance and 930m alt, pulling at 100+m, L/D comes to about 2.1. The wind is not a big factor at this site. bsbd! Yuri. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KrisFlyZ 0 #2 June 25, 2007 Nice Not fair for direct comparision to skydives because of altitude (air density) and rig size. Kris. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yuri_base 1 #5 June 27, 2007 Quote2.0km distance, 930m alt, pulling at 150m and substracting 100m for the start gives L/D of 2.9 I think this is underestimate. L/D can be more accurately estimated by integrating the wingsuit equations and trying to match the horizontal and vertical distance. Using this Excel spreadsheet, for 6666ft horizontally and 2600ft vertically L/D comes to about 3.5.
