It makes it more interesting to do a night jump. As you can see there is also Nav'lights on Hettie(skydivers' name). She is very tough...LOL. I'll keep this post up to date as I go. I take it you do RC Skydiving as well. Show some pics please.

You are taking r/c skydiving to a whole new level. Looks like alot of fun, I doubt I can get my plane pilot to take me up in the dark. Keep up the wild times and keep the pictures coming.

Status: offline 		It is a blast at night!!! We put a high intensity white flashlight LED in the jumpers head aimed up to light up the chute and outlined our jumper with some wire light from thatscoolwire.com.. We are working on a 12' Telemaster for a 4 to 6 jumper drop at night.. formation flying at night should be incredible!!!

Status: offline 		We are now 3 guys that did Night jumps. Riaan, Ken and myself.

What me and my Drop pilot use for the jump is some high bright LED's to give the drop plane some navigation lights. Red on the left wing and Green on the Right wing. We had a Blue LED on the tail and a white landing light LED beneath the plane's nose.
The diver/jumper has the same type LEDs for navigation in the dark. A High bright led on the left Hand/Arm and a high bright Green on the right Hand/Arm.
To help see the Chute better we are using a Super bright LED on the jumper's head that shines onto the bottom skin of the chute to have a better picture doing the jump.
The rest is simple. Drop pilot need to get instructions from Jumper pilot.

Star nights and have fun.

Don't forget to post pics guys!
