A friend of mine flys model plans and thought I would get a kick out of this. These guys build model R/C skydivers and drop them from R/C planes. they flys the jumpers under canopy. they eaven have an accuracy contest.

Nice! Those were so much fun to watch! I want to place an order for one the moment they hit the market.

I have been getting into RC a good bit lately. I started off with a Parkzone Firebird Freedom with the Areial Drop Module To Drop Parachutes. (See attached)

Unfortuanately I discovered that Flying the RC Planes while on a wind hold at the DZ is NOT the smartest idea. And you can only glue those things back together so many times.

So I went anod Bought the Firebird Phantom after that, That one was very tree hungry. Trees just kept running over and snatching it out of the Sky. It has the X-Port too that you can plug the drop module into.

Was thinking about seeing if it was possible to Drop one of these RC Paragliders From it.

anyone make a high quality otter RC...I mean, I've seen some fantastic model airplanes, so why not make an otter with jumpers
I know likely a waste of money...but come on...I'm a bored skydiver

Awesome! If you can get them to turn, maybe you can get them to flare at the end.
