My Sponsor deal with Performance designs finally went through and i just received my brand new Comp Velocity 90 sq’ft. it is more than a year ago since i send the sponsorship application i got a positive answer from Kolla right away but it took a year to get the canopy. Actually i am glad it took so long or else i would be flying a velocity now and not the comp velo..
The Canopy is a very positive step up from the regular velo the openings so far is very nice and predictable even without using the snappers that connect the slider to the canopy.
The speed on ½ brakes is like a normally velo but when you releases the toggles you can hear that the speed is accelerating and feel the steep trim on the canopy. Its flying and feels like a velocity except from its very ground hungry in the turns.
So far i have been setting my turns up for a 270 as i did before and its working pretty good it defenently feels like there is a lot of extra speed coming out of the turn. The really big difference is the rear risers power. you need much less input to make the canopy recover and you can ride the rears much longer than on the regular velo. I am going to try some 450 turns next time. but it is for sure a big step up from the Velo and it have been worth the wait..
The picture is from the second jump i made on the canopy a hop n pop from 6000 ft a GREAT jump
Do i look like i like that canopy??????
And look Albert from PD also like the picture and made it Picture of the month on PD web page
