On the Little Juan parachutist the following materials are used: Basswood and Plywood for the body. 1/32″ wire for the arms 1/8″ wire for the legs. The control rods for the arms are made from connector links and 4-40 threaded rod. I have used foam rubber to “pad” him up. Standard servos are used for control. The standard servo arms can be used. I have also used the DuBro heavy duty servo arms. The hands and feet are gloves and boots for a Santa Claus figure. The head and helmet are from the 1/4 scale DGA pilot bust.
