Default RE: Beginning Skydiver question

Hey Dale,

The arms will be in the completely upright possition when normal gliding. Turning and flaring will be th only times you will actually pull the arms down. Once you get experianced at skydiving and spot landing, flaring softly to "walk" the skydiver into a small spot will be achievable.

As far as the drop box. The skydivers pack goes up inside the box. The chute pack is the only thing that goes in the box. There will be a string that wraps around the jumpers belly that is attached by a release on the box. Once the servo is moved the string is released from one side. This causes the skydiver to fall out, a very simple setup but one that never has failed to work. Once you receive the drop box it comes with a full set of instructions on how to set it up.

Any other questions please feel free to ask.
