jumpers and planes

My Feedback: (73)

We sell a Giant Scale guy. www.rcskydiving.com He is 26" tall and weighs in at 5 lbs. We like jumping him, but he's not as handy to jump 5 times a day. Usually you have to take him up by himself because he's so big. Usually we like to jump 2 or 3 divers at a time, so we stick to the Micro jumper and Standard jumper. I have built a bigger jumper for my personal use this year and he's not for sale. He came in at 32" tall.
Lets just say, I should be able to see him.

Broodwa,
Fantastic looks like you'r having fun in SAfrica. I am looking at getting it going here in Turkey waiting on my chute in the mail now. Still thinking about how to make my man. If you have time I would like to see some pictures of your jumper without the suite so I could see the setup on your arms. Pictures of both sides would be great.
Thanks
Brad

If you want advise on working with fibre glass I'm no expert but I will assist you where I can.
I still want to get myself a Mike but recently found out my wife is pregnant so that will have to wait for a while!

Fanie

How about a photo would like to see how it looks compared to your previous Giant Jumper. What plane do you use to haul up that sucker?

Dave,
Hey I saw your big divers on the site when I ordered my chute. I guess I thought that there might be a bunch of guys diving something bigger than those... which I guess you are
Let's see a picture of your biggest next to a normal scale when you get time.
BTW I found my chute in the mail and am having it remailed to Turkey. Thanks

For those of you jumping with Mikes from Paramax or similar:
Which chutes are you using? I am looking for something that will give me more forward speed to allow me to penetrate into this blasted Kansas wind. Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated.
I have been very pleased with the way Mike has performed and have never had a dirt dive with him (almost 100 jumps). I have had a malfunction in which a steering line got hung up once and another in which the flag got hung up in the risers but the chute has always opened. Steering was the problem both times.
I am thinking of getting some more jumpers in the future and was wondering if the giant unit that Dave sells is any better? I would prefer a unit built here in the states if at all possible.

I think you will be interested in what we are about to release to the public. At the Toledo show we will be introducing a new skydiver to take the place of our standard size jumper. This is a fully scale looking jumper. It will put anything on the market to shame that I have seen yet. He is about 17" tall and will have the exact proportions as a real person, no square chest, no goofy looking face, nothing but scale looks. His radio gear will be the simpliest and most rugged I have seen to date. I know all this sounds to good to be true, but this diver has been a massive effort of RCSkydiving to get the people what they want. I have taken everyones inputs on what they don't like about all the jumpers on the market and compiled them with what we have learned in 5 years of skydiving ourselves and rolled it all into one diver. If your at the Toledo Weak Signals show in April, stop by the booth to see him. Otherwise I will post pictures and all specs as soon as we return from the show. Trust me, it's worth waiting for!!!!!

Pictures of my newest jumper who I call "Smiley Juan". I had purchased the jumpsuit material a long time back. My neice was sewing up some jumpsuits for me and saw the smiley face fabric and just had to make a jumpsuit from it. Smiley Juan now has 5 drops on a Jalbert Model Parafoil that is manufactured by Bob Deadmond. The chute flies just great.
