How do the Phazers fly?

After riding a REV800 for 4 days in the mountains, I spent most of my time finding spots to launch it off of and it reminded me what I missed the most from my REV.....I would love to hear from anyone who likes to jump how the Phazers fly.

One thing about REV's is they fly awesome....you CANNOT screw up a jump on a REV. They just seem to fly and land perfect every time. Sure would be nice to know if the Phazer's have the same characterisitics... right now I avoid jumps on my RX1 because it's just too unpredictable when you land and when they come down, they come down HARD.
 

They are alot more predictable than the RX, by a wide margin. I(wife) has a mountain and when I find a jump I flag her down and switch sleds. It doesn't have the power stock to accelerate into a jump and preload the front in powder, but it is the best balanced sled Iv'e ridden. I just added boost and can't wait to get it out :-o
 
I feel it jumps awesome and can be moved around in the air.It does however like to be jumped fast.Not plopping off a drop.Mine at least will bottom hard if that is done onto a flat.Working on that though!
 
I've dropped about 20 plus feet into 3+ feet of pow..
nice ride, and the 4 stroke torque lets you creep up
to drops and punch it to keep the nose up.
 
3ft of snow helps alot.I was jumping off bank onto blacktop with about a inch.Probably not smart of me but after I got confidence in the flight path and hit it fast it was fine.Actually let me rephaze that.It was awesome!
 
Nice "Rephaze" Joke. Too funny! I was clearing sixty foot terrace channels with my GT at flat out with it just in the old days of Quads..

Wow I dont think I ever went that big!I think the balance of the sled in the air really gives me confidence to hit stuff I never would on other sleds.I am not saying this guy was racing me but last night it was real windy and trails N-S had some real big drifts.Little Phazer was eating them up minding my own business .Passed a group of 3 sleds at stop sign and a Rev followed me.Well I admit I gave a little extra to see what guy was up to.I dont have mirrors but could see his headlight in my big windshield so game was on!He hung with me in smaller drifts we dropped down a hill with a left turn at bottom.Hit it hard at top of next hill one real big drift.The kind where you have time in air to think about landing and getting it straight.Landed and was instantly thrown up by another one I didnt expect.Was very crooked in air at this point but easily got it straightened out landed and was on my way Rev headlight just a faint speck in distance.If you can hang on and dont panic this sled will get you out of some really hairy situations.
 
it is very easy to correct but in the same light too easy to overcorrect i have the mountain and the track gyro is too strong it like to fly tail heavy but as far as side to side goes it pretty much kicks #*$&@
