Give action man 2 servo arms and a square chute and slope soar him in formation with your glider! Love how the glider seems to fly around and over Action Dude to make sure he is ok. Too much fun!!!
Great idea- maybe even a paraglider chute--
Thank you John for keeping the kid in all of us alive and well. Great job both of you.
My inner 10 year old me is absolutely loving that ! I reckon you're just like me John...a big kid at heart😃👍
My inner 52 year old also enjoyed it greatly 😄
Simon, stop talking to yourself. We know you're 62 since you've got a 10 and 52 year old self inside ya. Hahaha
@@TweakRacer no shit! 😀 But usually the 52 year old child wins when it comes to toys 😁
@@bokusimondesu Just funny to see two Simon's commenting hahaha Better tell 52 y.o. Simon to buy 10 y.o. Simon better toys then :)
Very nice parachuting from your glider, perfect drops and landings! 👍
Whenst I was a wee child, many moons ago. My dad had an Aeromaster. He would rubber band a foam cup to the top of the wing. I would place a parachute with a weight on it. He'd take off, climb a few hundred feet, do a roll and release the parachute.
I'd run to catch the parachute, quickly repack the parachute---Just as my dad was landing, I would be running up to the plane to start the game again!
I loved it, he did too!
Your video reminded me of that! Aaah, good times!
Your videos and planes rock!
Original and brilliant. This is why we come here.
Brilliant. What a fun. You both (rc pilot + camera lady) switched into a higher gear. Its the beginning of "real entertainment" and story telling. Pls keep going. Enjoy the summer.
Absolutely excellent! The only time I saw Action Man on a parachute was from the top of our stairs!
Me too
That was fantastic John! I used to make parachutes and chuck my G.I. Joe as high as I could throw him.
This brings back childhood dreams of making parachutes for my action man. Wishing I could take him really high to drop him.
Thanks for brightening my morning!
Beautiful. I love the soundtrack,too.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I had a smile on my face during your entire flight . . . It felt good . . . Thanks from Bob
Wow that amazing John and Caroline at least there was a co pilot on bard to navigate it to safety. All we need now is the seagull!
Thank you for your service Action Man!
Bless you from a big English kid a little lost in a French forest. 🏆⚒️🇬🇧
Thanks, that little man is a Hero, living life on the edge. I love every second of it.
Great flying and a fun idea. An extra challenge for your camera person and well met!
Always good fun dropping a parachute, nicely filmed 👍🙂
Fantastic model and video thanks!
John, thanks for actually doing the cool stuff we've all thought about doing! 👍😀
Remarkable flying, John, and a fun idea to add a parachute. I look forward to seeing more of your imaginative ideas.
SO RELAXING !!
JUST WHAT WE NEED TO SEE BEFORE SLEEPING, AND HAVE WONDERFUL DREAMS !!!!
THANK YOU JOHN 🤗🤗🤗
Well he said afterwards, it beats being chucked out of an upstairs window!
This video is so beautifully done! Thank you so much for brightening my day!
i always wanted to do a parrashoot jumper.....and a glider tow.G.I. Joe on a parra-glider to is on my list....very KooL,very KooL......
Too much, Sir John! Absolutely brilliant! Super clever. I'll bet with a small rigid loop on top of the chute canopy and a forward facing straight "hook" on the bottom of the fuselage at the c.g. you could retrieve Joe midair and fly him back, suspended beneath the glider. Or take him higher up, and tip the nose down and drop him again.
G'day John. I made a para drop module and can carry up to six paratroopers. If you think one looks good, wait till you see 6 of them all in a row. Getting them to land back where you are standing takes a bit of practice. Thanks for a great video
The passenger might have a higher pitched voice after that riding position.
JA JA JA JA JA
😂😂
Can't you just watch the video for what it is -------------- NO --------------- your dirty little mind comes into play.
Such a delightful aircraft
Just looks so cool thanks for another great video
Perfect sized chute for the figure. Loved the way the jumper hovered in the updraft. Good show.
I like this model John. Well done,
I'm surprised you didn't catch the parachute
The use of Action Man is very much of a particular era John! Next week: Tow Launching with a Raleigh Grifter! 😆👍
I think u may have started a new fad John !! Could watch that all day ! and thats one my favourite gliders !! Awesome to watch Mistro !!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😊😊👍👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing John! Love the pirouettes and the glider is outstandingly simple yet at the same time very elegant!
You Sir … are having too much FUN :-)
Well doe John AGAIN.
Poor feller took a tumble! Fun and cool as usual thanks!! 👍👍
Great fun and a good crowd pleaser. Thanks John
the little boy in me loves this! 😃
Love the skydiver ... but tell us more about the glider ... love the structure
Hi from France South East...
Nice parachuting... Well done.
Last day , you give the Océan Breeze plan to Outerzone...
It's a Gift... My next glider...👍
Many thank's. ..
Maybe one day the Dragonfly ... (Please...!
JML
congratulations, very nice
We did something similar! And kids loved It!
If only you could make it across to Normandy and then drop GI Joe behind those German pillboxes.
Great idea 👍👍
This makes me smile! :D
Really cute , 👍 complimenti
Now that adds another dimension to slope soaring…
Very nice John. Thanks
Very cool. Dig this.
Awesome...
Bellissimo complimenti🤗
Que grande john tambien tenes un paracaidista, buenisimo. Me encanta ese planiador con el fuselaje descubierto. Disculpame pero te voy a copiar la idea 👍
Excellent!
Молодец
Красивое развлечение для детей ! 😁

Brilliant :)
That's a lot of fun!
hello congratulations for the videos I liked it a lot! I would like to add the project of this glider if possible of course !
Next you'll make the passenger pickup with the helium balloons 👍👍👍
Hope to see some flour filled bomb drops in the future!
Now that was cool to see 😄👍👍🇺🇸
Now imagine adding one of those really small and cheap video cameras to GI Joe...
That’s a good idea....
Disappointed...... You didn't catch him once ! :-)
Lotsa fun😄
Very good 👍
Think I tried that with a firework rocket 🚀 years ago….😁
Who new parachutes could slope?
Nice. Do you remember there was an R/C skydiver made in the late 80s, by Robbe I think. It had a servo operating each arm which pulled on the risers to steer. It would freefall until you opened the chute by moving both arms together.
I don’t remember that but it sounds really cool.
Tooo cool!
That was a ton of fun to watch. I like the parachute, what did you use for the shroud lines?
Last summer I took the fabric (rip-stop nylon) off of a broken umbrella. It had little fittings around the edge for the umbrella ribs, made for easy attachment of the shroud lines. I used some 1.5 mm nylon twine for the shrouds. I used a Snoopy (Peanuts) figure as the sky diver. He was a big hit at the flying field last year. He's still hanging on a hook out in my shop. You may just have inspired me enough to rig a new model for him this year. Last years jump plane has been sold.
Realmente hermoso, lo vuelas con cero fallas, muy lindo
I'm only disappointed you didn't catch him 😅
Smashing
Cool!
John, any chance of a video shwing how you made the shute, and the release mechanism??
Will do.
Brilliant
your lucky to have access to a great cliff for slope soaring i have done it twice and loved it - and how did you get the GI-Joe To fall on command its awesome i love it and watched many times thank you for this video.
Thank you. It was a great fun video to make. The Action Man has a string attached to his back, with the other end attached to a servo operated release pin under the wing. He is effectively hanging under the wing but it looks like he is sat in the plane. I just needed to bank the glider a little when I released him, so he falls out cleanly.
Muy bueno!👋👋👋👋👋👍🖖
John, what is the name of this glider? Looks are awesome and you dropping action man made it even more exciting.
I haven’t thought of a name yet. It was just a one-off experimental build.
Great
wow!
Extra 👍
😨🐨🌏 pilot. jump low battery. well done .Keith Australia
What glider is that?
Phenomenal...!
Thanks, it was just a one-off experimental build made from an old set of wings I had.
Do you have fellow pilots that share this perfect slope?
There is only a small bunch of us that fly this slope regularly.
Super Mr John.I guess you made several trials before,because it works very smoothly.Is the jumper French?Congrats ans cheers?
Молодец парень! Красиво!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wanderfull models John! Do you sell this planes? Do you have a website ?
Hi there, glad you like the gliders. It’s just a fun hobby for me, I don’t have a website or anything.
Klasse Film absolut schön WELCHES MODELL IST DAS ?
Vielen Dank. Das Modell hat keinen Namen. Es war nur ein einmaliger experimenteller Build
@@SlopeRCGliders Tnx for Answer John
HA HA HA HA HA HA,.......VERY GOOD.
Is he ok ? Didn’t see any movement after he landed 👍
He has now become an adrenaline junky, not sure what he will get up to next.
👏👏👏
Nice glider! What is the name of the glider?
Thank you. It doesn’t really have a name yet. It was just a one-off experimental build.
