Phantom Leg Wing extension??? Ever had it done?????
Anybody had it done? Extended all the way down to feet! Is it "do-able"and more importantly did it help??? And if it did what did ya do?

Or is it a bad idea?!?!

There are quite a few modified suits around.
Prodigies, phantoms etc.

For some the added legwing helps a bit getting more drive. Depending on your skill level and experience, just jumping your current suit more might get you a bigger boost in performance.

had it done on my first phantom 1 a while back.
flew very nice, i regretted i sold it.
the guy i sold it to also liked it and didn't want to sell it back to me...
it also flew great when backflying.

on the other hand i think the phantom2 is perfect just as it is.

Yes I too have a Phantom2/Phacro2 as well.

I should have said It was a "2".

That being said. You don't think filling in the "gap" at the bottom between the feet would be good? Possibly with a horizontal piece of Mylar?

Any criticism or whatever would be nice. Thanks all!

If its an inflated extention, it might ad a bit of performance..
Usually the single-layer extentions only ad flap/drag.
