Hi,

Im building my own skydiver here in Australia and having some troubles. I have sewn a parafoil as per this site,

http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homep...rrecchute3.htm

The thing is, that parafoil is designed to hang off one center point, and not be steerable. Now i know that you turn a parafoil by pulling on the back strings on either side. My Problem is rigging

A) the Slider,
B) Connecting risers to parafoil and connecting risers to skydiver (how far apart etc)
C)The best way to get a servo to pull on turning strings

Im about to build a man like this one (link below), hopefully make him look better and sew a suit. But i dont think i can get arms to move the way he does? Whats the best way to make the arms move? If you guys could show me pictures of your rigs that would be very helpfull.

Many thanks,
