Phoenix Fly Stealth 1?
Can't Post
Hello folks,
I got an offer for a used Phoenix Fly Stealth 1, with around 200 jumps on it. Fits nicely. Asking price: 380€. Pricy alternative would be a Stealth 3 for around 1000€.
Few questions: 1.) Anything problematic with the first Stealth? 2.) What / How big are the differences? 3.) Do you think they are worth eating beans until X-mas? ;)
Anything problematic with the first Stealth?What / How big are the differences?
Be it some differences in inflation (a bit softer) and the suit having a bit more shallow angle of flight (a bit harder to fly for distance/speed), its quite comparable to the Ghost3. I did quite a few jumps on that one.
Here is an oldie video of us playing with some Stealths
That said, it needs a new zipper and has been out of action this year.
I find it flys slow (lowish descent rate with ease), but not with a lot of forward speed. Never pulled out my flysight to get a glide ratio. However it had a great range with ease unless you were trying to blast forward.
Decent inflation, not too hard, not too soft. Easy to pull. Overall, I like it, and I really need to get it fixed.
That said, my other suits are/were phantom1 (sold), shadow, stealth, V2/V3/V4 and X2. I think the stealth 1 had the best mix of range, ease of flight of all my suits.
I really need to get out more. damn responsibilities, lol.
