I recall a something about the FAA requiring a chute if we exceed
certain pitch or bank. This Spring you'll see me on the outside of

If there are two or more people aboard and you exceed 60 degrees of
bank or 30 degrees of pitch, every occupant has to have a parachute.
If you're solo, it's your call.
