2012 Hobbico E-Fest

[Grimracer]

I found video of the repelling dude.. BUT.. it looks like Charlie was in the jungle and he did not survive when he got off the rope.. You could see muzzle flashes and down he went…

Enter taps here.............

I will upload to YouTube tonight..

thats killer man... i got to thinkin about that grim,,,,, what if you put a small knot in the end of the rope... lil dude could repel down and stop at the knot,, then you could lower him to safety,, when he touches the ground he comes off the rope... that be cool too........ either way i love your enthusiasm on that project....

 

[Grimracer]

Thanks man.. The line I use is mason line. I have to burn the end each time before I thread the dude on.. then after he is on I have to cut the burn back off. If the guy hangs up.. all hell breaks loose.

Truth is it takes about 15 min to get the heli ready to do that each time.

Glad you enjoyed the flight. Its many hours of testing to get that to fly and work as well as it does.

oh wow..... that kinda stinks,,, so basicaly after so many times you need to replace the rope right??? its cool regardless..... here is another idea for you,,, if you have any open channels you could have a winch servo lower a rope with a magnet and pick the dudes up and reel em in......lol.....

 

[Grimracer]

Every time I fly it people say "now the real trick is to pick him back up".. not just once and awhile.. everytime. lol..

My 600 size (50 size) A-109 has a winch. (pic)

Im quite sure with a magnet on the skid and a magnet on the dude I could pick him back up.
