Default RE: RC Skydivers in Virginia area

Bad News and Good news.......
1st the Bad news......."Super Dave", my little jumper dude. Doesn't pull the chute without the power switch being on..... [:@] My wife was the one at the controls......

Ok, Now the good news, Even though "Super Dave" was droped from about 500 feet and hit hard short grass and he actually lost his head, broke his legs AND both Arms too, he is hardening up right now. It appears that he is VERY repairable too. MAN did that drop HURT!!!! I felt bad for my wife cause she thought it was something that she did..... SHE did great, She kept her cool as Dave augered in!!! She wanted to scream but keep trying to get the chute to open.

Note to self......ALWAYS check the littles response to control inputs!!!! ALWAYS..... He droped like a champ!!!!
