Fuji FA 200-180 as a Jump-Plane

[Maxx 1]

Hey,

I'm looking for information regarding the Fuji FA 200-180 as a jump plane. Has anyone done it? Is it possible? The FA 200 is legit to fly with an open cockpit.

Thank you for your help!

Technically? A walk in the park; climb to altitude, slide cockpit roof back, climb out while holding firm grip, step over flap and become unstable. You want more chalenge? Take a Piper PA 18 - 135...

Till someone hits the tail. It might be good for a demo jump.

This is why I am writing if someone has done it.. I want to avoid all possible hazards. Yeah, it's probably only for a jump or two.
Exit rolling over/under the wing? How far out on the wing?
Exit while slowly descending (to get the tail up)?
Don't know if this will happen at all anyway, but collecting information is a good idea..

Have you ever jump from a piper PA-18... I actually own one, but I want to know how the experience is.
I have only 20 jumps, so I am not trying it in a near future, but i still want to know.

Like the other thread on jumping a PA-18. You have to wonder if it is worth the added risk and hassle when other aircraft are available.
