Default Experiment with a emergency chute

Hi Guys ,

While some of you are preparing for the RC Skydiver's winter sleep , we are take benefit of the extreme good weather we have the last weeks ( especially Theo ) .
We have lot's of jump's with his latest Experiment ,a emergency chute for the RC Skydiver .

First we go up ( you have to ) then Gerard the drop plane pilot kicks us out of his Piper, the skydiver make's the normal 3sec freefall ,then deployment of the main chute "fully steerable" left right,
flying a few turns then drop the main chute make a short freefall and deploy the emergency chute "full steerable " and landing most of the time in front of Theo's feet .

I find it amazing that Theo was able to make it all work time after time , after a few jumps we found it quite common and suddenly we Realized we had not made any photos ,
so the last jump of a smashing day I was able to take some photo's I want to share with you .

( the photo's are not of a good quality but that is due to the limitation of the camera)

Have a nice weekend guys ,

Jules
