Default RE: jumpers and planes

Hi all great to have a forum at last.

Here are some photos of my two divers. The bodies I construct myself. The 2nd diver uses a locally produced chute so he is al made in South Africa!! I will post better photos of the divers over the weekend.

These photos were taken at a recent fly-in, it shows my own drop plane and a friend of mine’s Extra 330 which we used for the first time as two jumper drop plane.

The previous double drop plane a 1/3 scale Raven as seen in the Feb issue of RC Model World crashed later that day the photo was taken. Luckily the two jumpers bailed just before she met mother earth, everyone said it had a great scale effect!! The Raven pilot did not agree[:@]. We suspect a faulty aileron servo because it was flying level and all of a sudden snapped, into a roll and came down nose first, he just couldn’t get it out of the dive.

Anyhow enjoy the photos will post some more soon.

Regards,
Fanie
