Look in Germany for this dude. His name is Charlie.
I've spent many days/nights with this guy. A servo at each arm pit, a mixer(brakes) - Split at the waist - micro servo with rod for pack release - fiberglass/plastic chute tub - and a smile
He's broken a few bones. Had a few drops from within the clouds, ejected from a plane before impact...and survived two flat spins to the ground.....one with his crotch on the vertical...the other with the chute on the vertical. In both cases the plane survived. One was a counterbalancing flat spin into a field. The other was when he landed on the vertical but his chute opened fully...like a drag chute for the whole plane. It kept the tail up...full throttle. We actually landed the .040 trainer like this.
We put chem lights on him and dropped him over in Hungary too.
Look under the plane.
