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.

Regards,

I have flown with a headrest chute and placed it on my chest whilst
flying an ASH25. Definitely not optimum. Bulkiness and turbulence are
issues and map reading becomes hopeless. Ian has suggested the remote
( shoulder or headrest ) chute and that is the way to go. If you are
in the USA, be sure your rigger will repack such a chute, before you
buy one. The A model SH fuselage space above the wing spar may be a
tight fit so check dimensions.

OK, thanks alot Rick. Will steer away from the chest option.
Appreciated.
