minimum safe altitude for static line drop...
 

the subject says it all.

Also hat is the altitude for free fall.


I want to make sure I avoid dirt naps from too low an altitude.

It's a rcskydiving jumper.


Thank you.

The minimum height I use for low level drops with my 2 1/2 lb skydiver is about 100'. The maximum recorded that I've yet managed was 1700' which was pretty difficult and was at (or maybe slightly beyond:D )my limit! Both were free fall rather than dope-rope jumps.

Hope it helps a bit?

Gordon,

Thank you, I can get my heli somewhere within that range. LOL


First drop will be from as high as we can fly the heli -- somewhere around 600-700 feet easy.


I should be safe at that altitude with a drogue shoot and bad folding job... LOL
