SimonM 0 #1 May 24, 2005 Hi All, I have the absolute joy to do a few jumps last week with the first V1 in Africa. The suit is awesome- finish quality, fit and design. As others have posted I could not believe the forward speed. The suit just disappeared into the distance and I was flying my S3 as fast as I could. On the video, it looks like the S3 is standing still. Jumping the V1 was even more fun than watching it- I was very far away from getting the body position dialed in but managed around 50's vertical speed and what felt like MASSIVE forward speed. Turns were also a blast with a real sensation of banking like a fighter jet! It feels completely different to the SG, not better or worse, just different. The V1 feels more edgy, less chilled and needs more physical strength but seems to reward with more straightline speed. The flight data comparisons with two top line pilots in each suit. Cheers, Simon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
