kleggo 145 #1 March 20, 2011 was trolling the PF site this morning and saw that the V3 order form was down and was replaced by the message shown in the subject line. I guess i'll call Cathy @ Morpheus this week to see what's up. I should have just asked DSE yesterday as he organized some fun dives @ Elsinore yesterday, but i didn't know about the V4 until this morning. be safe Craig Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gzimmermann 0 #3 March 20, 2011 You guys at PF are worse than Apple, let people stand in line :-) However: If, and only IF DSE knows something, a grande standard Star..... coffee on the stairs of his trailer might help early in the morning. Great job PF, very much looking forward to seeing you in Z-hills to grow into the new Ghost3. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are a few other vintage pictures on the website, but I always got the current goods from Kathy. At least price and orderform are already for the V4. I expect an update on the deliverytime though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got similar number than the previous post has. which is the data from the GPS overlay. Why is that data bogus? Like Bor pointed out, the 3.5- 3.7 is sustained GR inbetween 40 & 50s without speed loss. Is that what you found to be bogus? If so, please can you elaborate why?

You know there are 3 kind of people out there: -who can count -who can't That's for the *entire* jump, which includes almost no glide towards the beginning. In the last half, when he's just flying straight, he maintains 145 - 150kmh forward and ~40kmh decent rate. 145 / 40 = 3.625. Sustained. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BIRDDOCTOR 0 #25 April 18, 2011 At Flock-In-Dock I did a high altitude jump on the V4 (22,500ft). This was my forth jump on the V4. Neptune stats : 4min 52 sec with average vertical speed of 43mph. The suit needs minimal effort to fly and did not really exhaust me much. I did have a fly sight on. I'll be interested to see the stats and let you know. Otherwise, I'll give you all my review of the suit. I did 10 jumps on the V4 at F&D. The suit is similar and different than the V3. In terms of similarities the suit is just as agile as the V3, easy to fly, and very stable. The differences are significant in the positive direction. The suit pressurizes and flys faster, the lift over the V3 is a lot greater, and it is slightly faster. These comparisons were made by 6 of my V4 flights made with others that had V3's. After exit it had significant more lift and slightly more forward speed. By the time the V3 deployed I was consistently 1000 to 1500 feet above the V3. The bonus of this was I could convert this altitude to more forward horizontal speed by diving the V4 and the difference in distance from the V3 was great at the end of the jump. Overall the V4 is a BIG step forward from the V3.Base# 1638 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
