Default RE: Parafoil kite for scratch R/C skydiver build?

Thanks Wil. Were you using a drogue chute with yours? I am at this point mainly planning to use this as a paraglider (and not a skydiver) since my plane is not yet finished, so a well-performing foil is a good thing!

Do you have any tips on folding, rigging and trying to get one of these to deploy? It seems like one of those spring-launched drogue chutes would help. Looks like you added risers to the trailing edge of yours, is that right? Was the diver you used with this foil a scratch or kit built model?

Sorry for all the questions, and thanks,

Steve
