Hey Guys,

To answer a few questions that were ask in my words.

Our Micro Jumper weighs in at 10 oz. ready to exit aircraft. He is 9 inches tall and take 2- Hitec HS-81MG servos and a Micro receiver.

Our Standard jumper weighs in at 3-1/2 lbs and is 16 inchs tall. He takes 2 servos for the arms and a servo to release the chute, plus a mini receiver.

All jumpers are dropped about the same way, belly down under the aircraft. Almost everyone uses this method. Some drop 1, some 2, and some 3 at a time. All of our aircraft (even the giant Stinger) is setup for electric power. This keeps the mess off the skydivers from the fuel.

Anybody in the area of northern ohio, stop in at the Toledo Weak Signals Expo and say Hi. We will be in booths 253-254, and we have 2 big new project to introduce to R/C skydiving.
