This is my first post at DIY Drones.
I am building a small experimental craft that I plan to release at 10,000 ft... whist skydiving & am wondering if it's possible to have the craft's parachute deploy at a set altitude & then use Ardupilot to steer the craft under parachute to a given home position ? The chute itself would be steered via two servos. I guess I could even get away with a single servo for steering the chute since it only has to pull in an up and down motion.. then I could use the other servo to open the chute.
note: I won't have the RC transmitter as I'll be busy in free fall.... so can Ardupilot operate without the transmitter ? I guess could have a friend on the ground turn on the transmitter.

Did you find a solution for this? I am trying to do essentially the same thing, except mine will be deployed from a weather balloon.
