PF Vampire Race quick test
I got a final prototype of the new Vampire Race to test for two weeks. I wrote a kind of report to share information with people who might be interested to learn more about the suit.

Thank you for the extensive review!


Have you had a chance to compare with an Aura?

This is awesome, thank you! Are you doing one for the Power as well?

Thanks for the feedback.

@Tom : No I did not compare with an Aura. My guess is that the Aura has a slightly better performance than the Colugo (glide ratio). The Vampire Race is not supposed to compete in that big suit category, it would be the Venom Power. However it looks like the Race is not that far considering its surface.

(Keep also in mind that the size of the pilot does matter. A tall guy with a Race may get a better glide ratio than a small guy with an Aura with similar flying technique and similar conditions)

@Bluhdow: I did not ask for the Venom Power considering I was lucky enough to put my hands on the Race ! Maybe I should ask.

That was a great read! And you should definitely ask for the Venom Power.
