Default powered skydivers??

i just thought of this, and wondered if this could work, what would happen if you combine a paraplane concept with a skydiver? in the real world full scale flying you can purchase a chute and an engine that you strap on, well couldnt this be done with a rc skydiver as well?

Yes, they have powered parafoils in full sized aviation. You must build the first R/C! I command it of you! Oh yeah, well the launch wouldn't be so scale, but who cares?
Great idea!
