There's alot more going on beneath the surface on the competition velocity that factory pilots and other somewhat 'sponsored' athletes have access to

answer to question #1, yes your question makes total sense...I've flown a few VX's

answer to question #2. Yes....

get a Velo- You'll never be disappointed. The JVX flies nice, I haven't seen a factory VX with a JVX linese, but I've seen a x-mod (xaos VX) fly. Still not as good as a velo.

someone on DZ said the VX is tough (or a challange) to fly well and that is what he liked about it. Any truth to that?

what is the JVX like??? I have not seen one yet. I love my VX and don't really care what brand the pros are winning with....

Hi, have a problem, maybe you can help me.

I have a vx109 that I load 2.0. It’s really nice and im getting good swoops on it. But I have trouble whit my accuracy. It’s hard to keep it in the dive and therefore I have to make it just right every time. It seems that the velocity pilots have a canopy that allows them to adjust their dive more easily. I know that it is mostly a question about skill, but talking to folks it I have come to the conclusion that a canopy whit more dive might help me.

Question 1.
Does this make any sense at all :)
Question 2.
I’ve heard that some use a JVX line set on their VX (need new lines in near future anyway)
Is this possible and will it make it dive more?

Question 3.
I really like my VX and the way it flies but is the velo just a better/easier canopy to swoop?

Thanks in advance
Niklas



isn't 2.0:1 a little light for the VX - how does that affect things???
