Subject: FLOWFORM flying angle

I've been flying for a few years now, and all the descriptions of the 
FLOWFORM parafoils that I remember say something to the effect that they 
pull less than a similar sized (standard) parafoil. I also seem to 
remember that some of these descriptions also mention that the FLOWFORM 
flys at a _lower_ angle than regular parafoils.

I've had my FLOWFORM 30 for a month or two (and have just ordered a 60) 
but from personal observation .... FLOWFORMS fly at the same, or HIGHER, 
angle than standard parafoils! What's The Deal Here?

Good winds.
