scheggia said..Finally finished editing my back-to-back comparison of the 777 LTX 5.5 and Ozone Pocket Rocket V2 5.7. I tested them in around 15 kts, right in the Pocket Rocket’s range and at the lower end of the LTX’s. I originally went into the comparison focused mainly on upwind performance, but after going through the GPS data and switching between them, I realised the more interesting discussion was actually happening elsewhere. In my opinion, for a big parawing, packability and the whole stow/redeploy workflow can be just as important as pure upwind performance — especially when doing laps and repeated downwind runs. I’ve included GPS analysis, handling impressions, and a side-by-side look at packing/stowing in the video. Curious what you prioritize more in a big parawing: pure flying performance or how easy it is to get it out of the way once you’re on foil?
Scheggia it sounds like your trying to convince yourself your happy with your 777's despite what you have experienced.
There is one thing that does stand out to me in your dialog and that is the bar pressure. It scares me when you describe the V2 as light and the LTX as heavier. The V2 has what I would call very heavy bar pressure when correctly powered and pushing hard to the point i can barely hold the things when not in the harness. It makes no sense and if the LTX is noticeably heavier?
The V1 has significantly less bar pressure. I sort of feel like the bar pressure on the V2 is so high that its hard to imagine a beginner trying to manage it without the skill to get straight into the harness unless using a V2 well into the bottom half of its wind range.
