Any info on the XF15?

[Rory81 0]

I've been looking around and so far I only could find out that it's some kind of Czech made Velocity (by Jojowings). I'd appreciate any inputs.

Thank you :)

Hi Rory81,
what to say about.....you have to jump it. XF has powerfull landings and great opennings.I have more than 1600jumps on the type....without any cutaways and only twice line twist. I you need more info just ask me

Yes, the XF 15 is a very nice crossbraced canopy. Smooth openings and mostly on heading. It flies very steap and powerfull swoop. I did 50 jumps on the XF and also a few on the Raptor a nice and hot 9cell elliptical canopy, not for beginners, for advanced pilots. The XF15 is well made and the price (cost/performance ratio is very good)!

From introductory statement under Skydiving section on manufacturer's website:

"...Since than we have been developing high performance tandem canopies. The HOP330 is a pioneer in 'small tandem canopies"...

here is the link: http://www.jojowing.com/skydiving/skydiving.php

Those guys really take to the next level:))) high-performance tandem, yeah!

Looking at the pictures, it seems like XF15 has a lot in common with one very popular x-brace canopy:) May be people, who jump XF15 can tell how it's different from the Velo?

And also that Raptor canopy... I couldn't find any pictures of that high-performance monster on their web-site... Am I safe to assume that it might have a lot in common with Katana? :) Strange enough, it's only available in relatively big sizes.... If PD started testing their Katanas from smaller sizes to larger, looks like JOJO went in reverse order:) They have sizes from 170 to 108 availabe and nothing smaller:((( no mercy for skinny jumpers:(((

Looks like somebody was flying XF15 during World Cup 2008 in South Africa;)

I think it was flown by Michael Beeden of NZL. It looked pretty sick and he did well on it.

Have you jumped one before? Tell us more about your skydiving background. Where do you usually jump? An pictures of your new XF15 ? sizes? Do you mind if I ask ????

[tamagotchi 0]

I normaly jump in germany. I do tandem-/4way- and some freeflyvideowork normaly. when i jump for my own i go for swooping and canopy control.

Yes i jumped one serveral times before and the canopy is really nice especially the openings. These are soft and on heading. The Openings are much better compared to a velo. From the way the canopy fly there is no much differenz between the velo and xf-15. I think.

[Petan 0]

I agree with you. I never had better opennings on any types of crossbraced canopies. If somebody thinks, that XF is a copy of Velo, thats no truht. There are differences: cuts,line set measures,stabillizers and others. Good news for funs: web will be uploaded as soon as possible. Everybody can read there informations about company jojowings and products.

What about the the dive, the recovery-arc and the swoop compaired to a Velo?
I saw a few guys on the EST in Lilo swooping the hell out of those XF15's.

[duby1 1]

I agree with opinion of boys, they have got total truth. i jump with XF15 for some seasons and i didnt have got nay problem. it is hight performance crossbrace canopy, i fly with it on competitions, just...super. but only one thing, that for me it is not total copy of velocity, but it is as well performance, there are no doubts duby

i have my 97 since oktober

but not the time to jump

[Petan 0]

great flying and very stable in freestyle. You have to jump it if you want to belive it

Hi,

I asked for a demo in (live in the netherlands)
There is only a 115 available. If I really buy one i would probl. take a 97
You guys think it would be interesting to try the 115 to get an idea how it flies ?
or the size difference is just to big and the canopies would not be comparable?
thanks

Hi Petan,

i jump now the 97 and i love the canopy. I have 40-45 jumps on that canopy now and is the best canopy i ever had.

What are you jumping at the moment??

I think that between 115 and 97 can be a different because of the wingload. But to get an impression of the canopy the 115 is better than nothing.

Try it and maybe you love it.

So now i have a pic of my XF 97 in flight.

I think a really nice canopy
