Just from looking at the second picture for 2 seconds you can see the wing at the trailing edge root is cut phantom 1 style, and the shoulder intake is gone...not even mentioning cell width, chord length, and chord position/angle.

Looks good indeed! Is it supposed to be a V3, like in more speed, more lift, more distanse, OR is it a base oriented "shadow" with very good speed, but more suitable for steap flights, terrain flying and radical manuvering?

This prototype is for speed and distance. I've done a few jumps on it now and it is an interesting suit. Cleanest and fastest V suit I've flown so far. Glide is a step up from the V2 but the suit seems easier to fly too.

It was obvious from the initial pics(more so from these pics) that inflation vs shape choice on this suit is the correct one for the first time in the V line.
No wonder that it is easier to fly. Better inflation makes flying easier.

Having seen the thing up close, and the speeds at which JB was flying the thing after breakoff..its definately a toy Id want to have..
The inflation looked incredibly solid (even on dirty flying), and the quality is PF standard (as you might expect).
From the V1 to V2, I personaly didnt see an alltogether big difference in performance (not big enough to want to upgrade if I owned a v1), but this is something completely different from the previous two.
The size is especialy amazing. Its big (a lot bigger than previous Vs) yet doesnt look big when flying (it doesnt look like somone is wrapped in 20 meters of fabric, unlike most bigger flock-specific suits).
Anyways...shame money doesnt come in truckloads..otherwise I know Id be owning this one (and an Sfly for fun) in notime..
