"Great to work, for team training and for swoop competition" What other canopy can offer that much ?
Have been flying these HPerf canopies before : Katana 97, Instinct 80 (PdF), Velo 79-75, Senseï 81-71 and prototypes (X-braced 7 and 9 cells)
My JVX is a 73 with stabilizers. I felt in love with the JVX first of all because of the openings. They are always on heading. Ok sometimes a quarter turn and max a half turn something like less than 10 times out of 400 jumps and as I trash-pack it quite often I would say it's great. I'm very confident when I throw my HD.
This canopy dive less than a Velo for sure but it dives enough if you load it correctly. Have tried mine with different wing-loading : between 2.2 to 2.9. I'll say it can be smooth...to ballistic : depends how you want it !
You can get enough dive and pleasure doing 360°, 720°, 1080° or even more just with harness inputs... and you can get more dive carrying weight and using risers during real swoop training.. once again it depends how you want it !
It flies very well from opening until during the swoop : you feel on rails and it seems to never stop flying on rear risers.
If you have the skills and that your chest belt is long enough you can almost get the JVX out of the dive by just pushing you body against the belt.
Highly recommended canopy, high five Nz Aerosport !
