The front cover is balsa sheet. I was concerned about the strength thereof so I glassed the inside. The 'bump' on the cover is what would be the real skydivers reserve parachute. The plans call for this to be hollowed out so that the batt. pack can be fitted inside but I found this space to be far too small. I ended up epoxying some lead into the hollow.
The legs are shaped balsa. The thighs, calves and feet are shaped seperately and then glued together at the knees and ankles.
The upper legs were hollowed out a little.
Upper legs done. A piano wire shaft gets epoxied into each upper leg later on.
