clustermagnet 0 #1 Posted January 23, 2019 Folks, I’m sure this has been asked before.... where can I read up on JFX vs crossfire flight characteristics and comparisons? Also looking to find if the JFX is suitable for AFF jumping with long spots thanks!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Faicon9493 141 #3 February 18, 2019 I jump a Crossfire 2 129. I have now made 10 jumps on a demo JFX 104. I really wanted to demo the JFX2 104 but haven't found one available yet. The contrast between my Crossfire 2 and the JFX is striking. The JFX openings didn't snivel like the Crossfire 2 but were not hard and were are on heading. I flew conservative, straight in landings for the first few jumps in very light winds and they were faster but no problem. It really planed out nicely when I used the rear risers. Overall, it's a fun canopy and the JFX2 is supposed to be even better. I will probably be getting one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wirzael 0 #4 October 17, 2019 I haven't done to many jumps on the crossfire, maybe 10 each on the 2 + 3, But got a little over 500 jumps on the JFX. They both like harness inputs and are great work horses. I can't really say anything bad about the JFX. Great, quick, direct, mostly on heading openings, which is great if your student took a little longer till he pulled the canopy. I never had to land out with this canopy, coming from the Katana this was a nice change . Long spots are not really a problem with it any more. Swooping it took me a while to figure out, as you need to force the JFX a little to start diving. Once it is diving and turning you find yourself under a sports car.
