GaryV,
I took my plane to Mark Anderson he is our local engine expert and he got it going. So I am ready to go.
I did a complete re-design on my jumper. He will have a sideways motion on the arms and I will get around 175 degrees of throw.
The weather forecast for today is winds up to 15 MPH. Tomorrow is looking good. Will give it a try then.

I noticed on the pictures of your jumpers that the controls lines run straight to the jumpers arms. Are all your jumpers set up that way?

That is a neat picture of your Mini Jumper. Good to know he didn't get busted up on the dirt dive.
I see where you have LED lights on your Fun Cub. What size batteries are you using to power the lights?

I have an Abell RC airplane set up for night flying. Maybe we could try some night drops at Muncie.
I made up a vest with LED lights for the jumper and use a 9 volt battery for power.
