Hi all,

Does anyone know anyone who flies with a chest parachute? I'd like
extra room in my Discus A, and perhaps this might be one way? Thanks
alot in advance.

Well, can depend on where you want the extra room. I have heard of
chutes being packed thinner at the top or bottom to make a slight
wedge form. How heavy are you? Lighter but maybe still larger pilots
can safely use a smaller canopy chute which will be a smaller pack.
Is the seatback still in? Rudder pedals all the way forward? Looked
at a different panel with higher shin cutouts? Is there anything at
or near canopy rail height that could move to somewhere else?

If worst comes to worst, you can always get more room in your Schempp-
Hirth A by converting it to a Schempp-Hirth B.
