I have 400 jumps on a stock 2003 Velo 111. I sent it out for the HMA 500s and just put 8 jumps on it.
It seems to have higher front riser pressure; lighter rear riser pressure but it seems that the rears have a higher stall point. I have better lift in brakes then I used to and forward speed is also increased (maybe partially why the front riser pressure is up)
Also, the dive seems to recover quicker and not generate as much speed. I used to do a 360 from ~750 now I am doing it from 600 and still a little higher than I would like. I do not feel like I am generating the same amount of speed through the recovery as I did with the old line set. Although, I must admit the flare power on toggles is phenomenal.
My turn consists of double fronts from full flight into a carved 180 with the second 180 snapped around to generate a harder dive.
Does anybody have any comments or suggests on the type of turn the Velo performs best with in this trim?

I had a velo with Mel's HMA 350 lines and after having it sent in to Pd for a reline with Pd's HMA 350 the canopy changed alot. No idea why but I can guarantee that MNel's line trim was far better competition wise
