You know my extreme plan  is to jump with a radio and fly an aeromodel while free falling, funjet will be a better choice, no ?

Not possible unless you plan to get the radio split wide open, fabricate a contraption with both the joystick in each of your spread hands while flying with the radio strapped to your back.  :giggle:  :giggle: ;).

Jokes apart it is quite possible if you have a head tracker gyros. fix the head tracker to the helmet, strap the radio to the back and configure an elevon plane to the two axis of input of gyros. I still dont know how you are going to control throttle.  :headscratch:

planning to jump out on the air show day onto the alg, land and fly, for starters,
..get the radio split wide open, fabricate a contraption with both the joystick in each of your spread hands .
that seems workable

The Russian extreme sports star makes the highest ever BASE jump after leaping from 7,220m.
It is exactly 60 years since Edmund Hillary and Tensing Norgay made the first ascent of Mt Everest. Since then, the world's highest mountain has attracted some of the world's most extreme athletes who have skied, snow-boarded and paraglided off the mountain. But no one has ever BASE-jumped — until now.

Amazing but also extremely dangerous, I remember a guy who BASE jumped from the Petronas Towers. (illegal in Malaysia) and then quickly ran away :P

Anwar Bhai

Jeb's Flying Dagger or Grinding the crack is nothing compared to what Alex Polli did at the Batman Cave, of course that takes nothing away from Jeb though, today i guess in the world there a handful wingsuit pilots who are capable of these feats

@rcpilotacro,

@rcpilotacro,
For me, you personify Alex's motto 'Look beyond your abilities'

Thank you sir,

காயமே இது பொய்யடா வெறும் காற்றடைத்த பையடா ‘kayame idhu poiyada, verum katru adaitha paiyada’ kayam means body. This body is a false appearance, untruth and impermanent. It is just a ‘bag filled with air’

In a way I'm glad you didn't see this thread of mine
I did, in fact, amongst the circle, Luke's attempt was known feat. we had a thread running, wheather or not he should attempt it.
Flipping onto back was perfected without drift with the help of fellow jumpers. we saw the final feat, to get the flip right (after it was decided that it should be a face up landing) took Luke a lot of wind tunnel and jump practices.

Problem with this sport is, you got to fend for yourself mostly.

Next year is my 'Base' year. Twin Falls Idaho here I come
