RC skydiving, who knew? YT video

This showed up on my YouTube feed for no reason. Never heard of it but not surprising. Kinda creepy how the little guys actually move their arms up and down to steer.

That's awesome. Wait until they figure out how to stick a wireless camera on their skydiver model synced to VR goggles!

Very cool. Those are pretty good sized planes. I would not want to get bit by one of those props......

Now that’s funny, the only thing I think they really need help on is getting a good flare at the end. It would be interesting to see if they increased the parachute size by 15% if that would slow GI Joe down a bit more, where Joe could get a good flare.

If the contest was about hitting the bullseye and a survivable landing it would be interesting. FPV would be cool but not for me.

The Germans also have forklift competitions so why not this I guess? Seems like a goofy hobby to me.

Yeah. check out Cheap Seats on YouTube. It was a show that comedians the Sklar brothers hosted commenting about weird espn sports. One was "professional put put". I didn't know that was a thing.

Well, they have Corgi racing on ESPN, so I wouldn't be surprised!
