Hi Guys
I'm planning to attend a R/C Skydiving on mainland Europe and spotted that they impose a rule on safety devices to prevent inadvertant opening of the pack during the climb.
What I need is a couple of ideas on how to accomplish either method.

The rules below were cribbed from the Dutch website


"1. You make a safety switch, for instance 2 micro switches who turn the jumper off when it is mounted under the aircraft through use of a safety pin. When the doll is dropped, the switches will be turned and the jumper will be turned on.


2. A safety line attached to the back pack of the jumper. This is an
extra safety so the chute can not be opened when the jumper is mounted under the aircraft. When the jumper is dropped, the pin will be pulled from the pack and the pack can opened on command".

I must admit I'm not too wild on the concept of not getting Big Dude powered up till after the drop starts.....but anyway .....when in Rome and all that!

Regards

Gordon
