    The passenger is sat under the glider CG, fixed in place using a servo operated release mechanism. The parachute is home-made using ripostop nylon.

    This brings back childhood dreams of making parachutes for my action man. Wishing I could take him really high to drop him.

    @timgarrett203 3 года назад +20

    Give action man 2 servo arms and a square chute and slope soar him in formation with your glider! Love how the glider seems to fly around and over Action Dude to make sure he is ok. Too much fun!!!

    Whenst I was a wee child, many moons ago. My dad had an Aeromaster. He would rubber band a foam cup to the top of the wing. I would place a parachute with a weight on it. He'd take off, climb a few hundred feet, do a roll and release the parachute.
    I'd run to catch the parachute, quickly repack the parachute---Just as my dad was landing, I would be running up to the plane to start the game again!
    I loved it, he did too!
    Your video reminded me of that! Aaah, good times!
    Your videos and planes rock!

    Too much, Sir John! Absolutely brilliant! Super clever. I'll bet with a small rigid loop on top of the chute canopy and a forward facing straight "hook" on the bottom of the fuselage at the c.g. you could retrieve Joe midair and fly him back, suspended beneath the glider. Or take him higher up, and tip the nose down and drop him again.

    That was a ton of fun to watch. I like the parachute, what did you use for the shroud lines?
    Last summer I took the fabric (rip-stop nylon) off of a broken umbrella. It had little fittings around the edge for the umbrella ribs, made for easy attachment of the shroud lines. I used some 1.5 mm nylon twine for the shrouds. I used a Snoopy (Peanuts) figure as the sky diver. He was a big hit at the flying field last year. He's still hanging on a hook out in my shop. You may just have inspired me enough to rig a new model for him this year. Last years jump plane has been sold.

    Nice. Do you remember there was an R/C skydiver made in the late 80s, by Robbe I think. It had a servo operating each arm which pulled on the risers to steer. It would freefall until you opened the chute by moving both arms together.

    • @SlopeRCGliders
      @SlopeRCGliders  3 года назад

      Thank you. It was a great fun video to make. The Action Man has a string attached to his back, with the other end attached to a servo operated release pin under the wing. He is effectively hanging under the wing but it looks like he is sat in the plane. I just needed to bank the glider a little when I released him, so he falls out cleanly.
