Status: offline 		Hi from St. Louis, Wil do you know if anyone asked AMA about us using ground fregs in our skydivers?. Since they are in the air for about three or four min. It would be so easy to have a ten or more jumpers in the air, and have no interference with the aircraft. I tried my large quaker with three jumpers and had no problems lifting them. Can we find some one who might be able to get this information for us?.

Go to members look for pounder look in pounders gallery have pictures of my skydivers
My jumpers are compltely assembled, all you have to do is install radio gear. They are
three channel. Two are for arm control and a micro servo for releasing chute. I send instruction
for installing servos and packing the chute. I get $229 dollars for them and that includes shipping.

Sorry to disagree, but AMA says that R/C skydivers fly and are definitely required to use
model aircraft frequencies.

How is my old Pilatus Porter?

See you at the River City Rally I hope.

Status: offline 		Hello mike,

All the skydivers that are being made work just as good as the other. I have the soloman skydiver! Right now, but the mike is the best skydiver around, but it will be 700+$ to get one ship to you. The 8+month back order is what get's me. Bob has a nice man, Ken soloman, and CR has a nice man. All are about the same in $$$. look back in some of the other post. I talk about what the diff in all the RTJ skydiver that you can buy. Last years Rally the only diff I saw in all the jumpers was the chute. What I mean is, the way the man was flying across the sky. was it moving forward! and not just dropping out of the sky. Day one of the rally low wind all skydivers did good, but day two high wind the mike skydiver did not jump that day. The solomon skydiver to me did better in high wind then the rest, so it was moving forward and not just dropping out of the sky. Well it did two times drop out of the sky, I pack the chute wrong hahahah! anyway! I'm sure some will say i do'nt no what I'm talking about, but I have video to back me up. The chute is the big diff in all the RTJ skydiver that you can buy. Only thing I can say is JUST GET ONE, you will love it. Nothing but fun!!!!!!!

Thx, Wil

This does sound like fun and I guess like anything in this sport you just have to drop some $$$ and have fun!

It is like buying a trainer, but it is so much fun. To be able to drop and deploy your jumpers chute and then guide him to the target is like the first time you soloed. You will not regret the purchase of any of the jumpers that Ken has talked about. I hope you do because I don't believe
you will ever find more commarodery then when these guys get together for a rally. I have been to two of them and going to go again.
