(sorry for posting if it's off-topic here)

safe jumps you guys!

a guy at www.pcv.ch (Paraclub Valais) has one one of these and BASE'd it alot, even with a camera.

 
That jumper looks like a bit of a dummy.

Sorry, i had to.

Very cool though, does it work off radio control and does the little dude ctually "steer" the canopy?

You open and steer it by radio control. Can't do swooping though..

Okay, how do I get one of those?

Make that 2.

ever use him as a true "wind dummy?"

This is soooo cool!!! If I can't buy one of these, I'll resort to making one!

You can buy one here:

Um, how can I figure out what they are saying so I can buy one, that is too cool!

I found an english part of the website:

I designed it myself. Just as an experiment. The
chute seems to have cell-pressure problems though.
To buy them new is pretty expensive because you'll
need the rc-equipment as well.


No, I didn't but maybe it's because I don't jump yet.. (this summer!)
That makes me a new-be here, I guess

I have seen them for sale on e-bay as well!
