V3 - anyone have one (production) yet?
Can't Post
Having recently placed my order for a V3, I'm eager to hear the feedback of those (non-PF employees/test jumpers) who have already received theirs.
Though I bought it solely for BASE purposes, I'm curious if anyone has flown theirs in a skydiving/flocking environment. Is it easier to flock with than the V2? I know some people have no problem flocking in V2s, but a lot of people I know have a hard time due to the lack of lift at slow forwards speeds. The promo-material for the V3 seems to indicate the bigger armwings help alleviate this.

From what Ive heard, some people are getting suits as we speak.. So it shouldnt be long before some more trustworthy people share their views on how it flies (and flocks)

I saw him out at Snoho a couple of weeks ago, he had more patience than me a three hour wait to get in the air was too much. (an hour and half was for the fog to clear)

I consider the PF guys trustworthy enough to design and build a suit that I will be trusting my life to (in a way). So no knock on them for wanting an outside opinion.

I know..Im a big fan of PF and the gear they make....so much I broke ties with old 'friends' and am now pushing a brand (PF) I really believe in....but enough on that one..
The V3 is an amazing suit. And I wish people could see more of the stuff Robi and the guys have been doing with it off the mountains...its mindblowing....
More and more V3s should be arriving at their resp. new owners around these days...so it cant be long untill pix and video start popping up everywhere..

In fact I highly recommend you get the shadow leg wing-mod for the acro, regardless if you base it or not. Have you noticed the few people with new custom acros that have more leg wing? A little bird told me it is a sweet combination.

I don't know when the Caravan returns but Ritzville is a great DZ. Warm weather, no fog in summer, no s&t mill. I'm likely to NOT get a V-3 (see, still on topic) but prolly a Raptor PDQ and keep the V-2.
but there's very few suits around here, it's really cold right now, and I didn't buy the suit for flocking anyway.
