Dropping system for Micro RC Skydiver - Jumpbox - Dropbox

Just as in full scale skydiving, we use an R/C airplane, helicopter or drone to take them to jump altitude.

After assembly, attach your dropbox under your aircraft's fuselage or wing (depending on your airplane type). Plug the dropbox servo in your aircraft's receiver using an auxiliary channel. Detailed instructions for setup are provided in the owner's manual included in the box.

Minimum would be 300 ft / 100m (very short flight). A typical drop altitude for the Micro Skydiver is 900 ft / 250m.

IMPORTANT - Make sure to check your local field regulation for maximum flight altitude. The FAA limits you to 400 ft unless you receive prior authorization.

For the Micro Skydiver a high lift, 1.2m wingspan airplane is plenty big enough. If it can carry 10 oz. you are good to go. For example you can use the 1.5m FMS Cessna, 1.3m Carbon Cub, 1.2m Timber X 1.2m, 1.4m Piper J3 Cub or Grasshopper, 1.2m Decathlon, 1.4m Freewing Pandora, 1.5m DHC-2 Beaver, 1.5m Kavan Pilatus PC-6 Porter, 1.62m Nexa Piper PA-18 Super Cub Burda and many more. Of course, the bigger and more power the faster you get to jump altitude.

You will need an RC aircraft to drop the skydiver from (airplane, helicopter or drone). You will need someone to fly the drop plane and someone controlling the skydiver. If you are using a drone or helicopter that has GPS, you can do everything alone.
