MrCat 0 #1 April 23, 2012 Man - I am seriously impressed with the turn around time on my new Phantom 3. I emailed PF on the 1st of April to see if they could make me a P3 using the same specs they used last year for my Ghost 3. Robi said no problems so I placed the order and got it paid for. Got home today and there waiting for me was my new Phantom 3 - it looks awesome. And on the same day the V3 I'd got second hand turned up too!! Fingers crossed for decent weather this weekend - I've got a fist full of suits to try out :) Obligatory photos !!Jump more, post less. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrCat 0 #7 April 24, 2012 Quote@MRcat: What jumps use Vampire and others ghost ? Base /plane ? I'm just a plane jumper, mainly solo stuff so long flights are pretty much the order of the day :) I was jumping mainly my ghost last year and had a go on a V3 and it was a lot of fun - just different, a little bit faster, a little bit better glide. If I'd had time I'd have put more jumps on it and I guess I'd have got a lot more out of it. Then this year I got a nice pay bonus so decided to replace my P2 with a P3, sold my P2 back to the guy I bought it from (and the same guy whose V3 I'd jumped) and thought I'd ask would he 'part-ex' the P2 against his V3. He didn't want to but I'd got it into my head that I'd like a V3 and it was difficult to get it out of my head! I don't expect to jump the V3 much - just when one of my super skinny floaty mates puts his Stealth on.Jump more, post less. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butters 0 #8 April 24, 2012 Wow, that is fast. I was debating between upgrading my Phantom 2 or getting a Ghost 3 and went with the Ghost 3 ... can't wait for it to arrive so I can begin putting it through its paces."That looks dangerous."

roostnureye 2 #11 April 24, 2012 i hear robbie personally inspects every v4 that leaves his shop, thats supposedly why the lead times are so long for the v4s, i like the idea that my suit will be gone over by a jumper, not just someone with some mad sewing skillzFlock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like chalk and cheese with my P2. The cells inflated super fast and very nice and solid, I did what I'd normally do to turn and it responded much faster and there was a much more noticeable bank in the turns. It was awesome fun - if the wind hadn't been honking and I needed to hightail it back to the DZ I'd have been throwing turns in just for fun trying to see how steep a bank I could get :) Lovely. Averaged 56mph which I was very happy with for the first flight on the suit and it took me a little while to get the hang of how it wanted to be flown. There was loads of nice fluffy clouds to so all in all a great jump :) No photos though as it was a solo jump. Can't wait to jump it again!!Jump more, post less.
