I truly envy the minds of some people. Just genius. Something so simple yet genius!! I dunno what you have done since then my friend but you can patent this and make millions!!!
Great video. Can you do one that teaches more about the lines? More so about the riser area and attachment points. Ive ordered my Kite, (1.4m) now i need to find the material for the body. What size servos are you using?Thank you.
Nice video . Did u buy this kite from AliExpress ?? And how we can use control line to fix on trooper arm .?? Like kite kite come up with to control line. Can we use these 2 lines or need some changes ?? Can u make video about that with thanks
Assalamu alaikum warah matullahi wabarakatuh great man can't believe that its built by you but its you made it keep it up and do things like that sure to tell overall cost Allah Hafiz
Great design you have created and it looks like it works great. I had a couple of questions, what kind of foam are you using? what density is it? It looks like about it is about 1.5" or about 38 to 40 mm thick? How did you attach the new lines to the kite (chute) the original lines are attached by a sewn in loop. Thanks very much, Don
Thanks. I used moderate and medium strength Polyurethan foam boards aivailable in 50x50x3cm. The thickness belongs to the servoheight but they're easy to glue or cut it into your desired dimensions. This material is also easy to mill or grind with a dremel. I attached the new lines direct to the kite with a sewing needle and a knot secured with superglue. Good luck
This is great, i already have the kite, so i am starting builiding this model ! would you please describe how did you make the orange suit for the jumper? did you sew it?, can you share due and suit templates?. sorry for so many questions but this is great! seems afordable against all comercial options out there with ridiculuous prices.
No problem. Sorry i've no templates. I've taken a reflective vest (you can use whatever you want) fixed with glue at the back and between the legs. Quasi how you to wrap up a packet. For the sleeves you need a tube wide enough over the arm also fixed with glue around the shoulder front side because at the back is the servo arm which needs free movement. No sewing. Good luck
Grabenstein, excellent work, pal! How do you decide the size of the parachute? And what is the total weight of the skydiver sans the chute? I too want to make a remote controlled parachute but my payload is going to be somewhere between 1.5 - 2.0 kg. Thanks a lot for the amazing video, man! Regards, Ash!sh.
Thanks a lot. I think with 2kg you can use a ~1,7m kite. If the weight is to less, the flight properties are not good. In any case you have to experiment a little bit like I did. I bought my kite in a toy shop. Good luck.
Hallo, das Öffnungs-Servo ist ein einfaches Mini-Servo woran ich die Schnur zur Öffnung des Schirmes nur am Servo Horn direkt eingehängt habe. Wenn die Schnur freigegeben wird kann das Gummiband den Splint vom Rucksack rausziehen. Das ist im Prinzip alles. Außer Schnur, Gummiband, 3 Stk. Splinte und Servo für den Öffnungsmechanismus nix gekauft. Hoff ich konnte helfen.
So all your A lines are the same length? My chute has 6 lines with 3 connections on each. And a 3 line to 1 on each side on back for steering. I can't seem to get it to open. I have shared connection point in the middle for right and left lines. My chute is flat when lines are even and brought to center but when lifted it doesn't lay like it should. Can you help
Sorry, I don't realy understand your problem, but you can test your chute outside starting by your hand against the wind how it looks like when it opens for a little moment and then maybe shorten some lines by instinct. I hope you understand and it helps
@@grabenstein1173 I think so. I have a rectangle chute and have 3 lines coming off each row of loops. There are 5 sets of lines and 2 steering lines that connect to the trailing edge in 3 spots. Steering lines are out on the far trailing edge
Ah, okay. All 6 Lines should be equal but the lines at the leading edge are shorter and the lines at the trailing edge are longer to create an angle of incidence wich depents on your chute. So you have to try different angles of incidence with testflights for best flightproperties and good steering control
We bought they in a toyshop. The smaller one had original 1,5m downsized to 1,2m and the bigger one from 2m to 1,5m wingspan. I've seen the same 2m kite on Amazon ~15€, but i think you can use what you like or what you can get.
Auch von mir ein Lob für diese super Idee wenn man bedenkt, dass der einzige Hersteller von RC-Fallschirmspringer 700 Euro für ein flugfertiges Komplettset verlangt! Einfach nur genial diese günstige und einfach Lösung! Nur die Frage nach den einzelnen Leinenlängen blieben unbeantwortet! Wenn Sie vl. angeben könnten wo unterhalb des Fallschirms ca. die Puppe hängen soll, gemessen von der Vorderkante und wie der Anstellwinkel des Fallschirmes ca. sein soll dann würden sich die Leinenlängen von selbst ergeben, egal welchen Kite man sich kauft. Bitte um diese Angabe falls möglich! Danke!
A big kite requires a lot of weight for good flight properties and a heavy skydiver requires a huge powerfull tow-plane. My limit was 1,5 kg weight for the skydiver that results a wingspan from the kite of 1,5m. So the only solution was to shorten the wingspan from the 2m kite to obtain this weight. Resumed a kite flies one way or another it depends on your limits.
Hope your still in this hobby ..where did you get that foam you cut your skydiver out of ..? ...I would love to build one or buy one from you ..?......Thanks
Erstmal danke für die likes. Die vordersten Leinen (a Leinen)sind alle gleich lang mit 90cm, dahinter die b Leinen ebenfalls alle gleich lang mit 95cm und die c Leinen mit 103cm welches einen Einstellwinkel von ca.25° ergibt. Die Puppe hängt 4 cm weiter darunter. Die Steuerleinen sind im Geradeausflug gleich lang wie die c Leinen d.h. der Schirm ist immer angebremst. Diese Einstellung hat sich beim kleinen Schirm gut bewährt. Der größere Schirm fliegt mit 7° Einstellwinkel ebenfalls immer angebremst ganz gut. Das Anbremsen des Schirmes wirkt sich direkt auf das Steuer und Flugverhalten d.h. sollte dieses nicht zufriedenstellend sein zuerst die Neutralstellung der Steuerleinen verändern (Anbremsung des Schirmes). Führt dies nicht zum gewünschtem Erfolg, erst dann den Einstellwinkel verändern und weitere Testflüge absolvieren. Mit dem Gewicht der Puppe kann man ebenfalls experimentieren. Der große Schirm benötigt auch eine Umlenkung der Steuerleine (Leine über eine Öse an der Hand danach weiter auf der Schulter fixiert) um deren Weg zu vergrößern und ordentlich zu kurven.Viel Erfolg beim nachbauen.
Hey i just rewatched the video and saw my comment, why was I so mean 3 years ago? Crazy! I d like to apologize on the behalf of my 3 years younger self 😂
Спорт
Excellent!, i have build one for my son (5)!
I truly envy the minds of some people. Just genius. Something so simple yet genius!! I dunno what you have done since then my friend but you can patent this and make millions!!!
Thank you so much, I'm going to make one ;)
Thank you very much for the information, I plan on building one or two of them.
Thanks, again for your help, Don
Nice idea I have a 6ft kite I will have to try
oh yes and thanks for your efforts much appreciated
Great video. Can you do one that teaches more about the lines? More so about the riser area and attachment points. Ive ordered my Kite, (1.4m) now i need to find the material for the body. What size servos are you using?Thank you.
Nice video! Maybe i gonna make one but how do you have tge battery tho the receiver??
Nice video .
Did u buy this kite from AliExpress ??
And how we can use control line to fix on trooper arm .??
Like kite kite come up with to control line.
Can we use these 2 lines or need some changes ??
Can u make video about that with thanks
Still haven't got a parachute for my skydiver. Can't get it to open
This is fucking gold

Zu welchen Leinen wird die leine am winglet zugeordnet? A b oder c ?
Wie lang sollten die einzelnen Teile der steuerleinen bzw Gesamtlänge der Leinen (beide Angaben bitte :) danke im voraus)

Whats your progress ashish?
I made one out of cardboard and garbige bag
grabenstein, wo hast du das mechanismus für die öffnung des Fallschirm gekauft? welches servo hast du benutzt? eine antwort wär sehr nett.

Store?
Where did you get the pilot chute that helps open the main chute
It is a little skydiver-chute from a toyshop
Ok thanks
Where can you order the "kites" from?Thanks
On Amazon you may find one.
I still can't get my parachute to work. My skydiver is finished but no chute.tried following you but still no luck
I just can help you when you explain what exactly does not work. Maybe your Skydiver is not heavy enough.
So all your A lines are the same length? My chute has 6 lines with 3 connections on each. And a 3 line to 1 on each side on back for steering. I can't seem to get it to open.

Grabenstein Sorry, correction. The smaler one has original 1,2m wingspan similar the knoop kite 2762s.

What size servos did you use?
I've installed Graupner C5077 (38x19x37cm) because I had them already and they still work, but if I had to buy them I'd choose servos with metal gear
+Grabenstein How important would you say it is to shorten the chute? I have a kite like that and rather not shorten it if I didn't have to.
A big kite requires a lot of weight for good flight properties and a heavy skydiver requires a huge powerfull tow-plane. My limit was 1,5 kg weight for the skydiver that results a wingspan from the kite of 1,5m. So the only solution was to shorten the wingspan from the 2m kite to obtain this weight.

fantastic video. now off to get the bits together
The blue chute I have from toys rus
Hope your still in this hobby ..where did you get that foam you cut your skydiver out of ..? ...I would love to build one or buy one from you ..?......Thanks
Nice job. Can you tell me how long are all the lines? A B C D and
E ( control lines).
Thank you.
all 90 cm
the miniature skydiver had vomit all over his jumpsuit when he landed
you made it full scale?=)
Erstmal danke für die likes. Die vordersten Leinen (a Leinen)sind alle gleich lang mit 90cm, dahinter die b Leinen ebenfalls alle gleich lang mit 95cm und die c Leinen mit 103cm welches einen Einstellwinkel von ca.25° ergibt.

Can you make me a parachute?
Sorry, I've not enough enthusiasm at the moment about it.
put a gopro on the man
already done on the other Video (RC Skydiver)
nice video but wtf is the music
Thx, but it' hard to find cool free copyright music
