HD Hero Freefall Survival: RC Plane Parachute Malfunction

Ok. Jon and I aren't known for our brilliant idea's. But when we have one, its freaking awesome! Safety isn't a factor most of the time and that really goes for this adventure.

Our attempt to drop a camera from an RC plane with a parachute was a huge success! However the wind instantly made it a huge failure. Watch as we try our best to not get sue'd.

I don't know how many times I've watched this and it still doesn't get old! How did you make the retracts though?

Thanks dude! There mounted vertically inside the fuselage of the plane so the arms rise up. Worked like a charm

I can tell you are not in the PRK California, somebody would come running over in 5 minutes to tell you that you can't do that.

[RobscoRC]

haha no, in Canada we have a bit more leniency.

seriously....... had the pick up it almost hit started driving..... awesomeness would've been awesomerrrer..... Or something.

[RobscoRC]

lol well thats what you didnt see. I cut out a bunch of footage from the camera on the road, there was probably about 10 cars that drove past it, Jon couldnt get to it until traffic cleared. Sadly though the chute covered the lense so it was only shadows passing over. :(

It would be super cool if you have done the same thing with a weather ballon and had drop the gopro from 33.000 meters with a GPS so you would find it after

[Jordan Little]

great idea!! how did you get the "pin solution" to work exactly? I am very interested!

[Dan W]

Loved the video it was hilarious. Im going to modify my landing gear like that too as it is very cool!!

If the wind is blowing, you can attach a wind-vain to the camera to control wich direction the camera is pointing.

[bradrnstyle]

Haha that was awesome!

Nice video. Try it again on a day with no wind. Maybe the camera won't sway as much. Hard to say though.
