I did a demo with my RC Skydiver at a RC Airshow in November 2009. There were real skydivers also doing demo jumps, the one guy saw my diver and wanted to take it up and do a jump with it, immediately the issue of it needing to be switched on came up!! He promised he would not forget as he does demo/flag/stadium jumps for a living!! My diver, Skydiver SAM, hitched a ride in his flag bag.
I’m glad to report it work perfectly!! He went up in a microlight, jumped, did his freefall, opened his canopy, released my diver, it freefalled, I deployed my canopy, he then did a spiral down to fly right beside my canopy so I imitated all his moves with mine! He swooped in and landed right beside me, I then followed with my version of a swoop and landed right at our feet!!
Here is a link to the photos if my upload doesn’t work still awaiting the video:
