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

Hi Steve, Did you get a chance to give it a try over the weekend?? How did it go??

Not sure if you can tell from the pic below but the front of the chute is angled down to keep air pressure in the chute as the chute is coming down. Paraglider chutes even have the top portion of the cell opening closed across the front now.
