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.


Hang glider pilots all fly with chest or side mounted chutes that are
capable of supporting
the glider (~80 lbs.) and the pilot together. They cost about $700 and
weigh about 6 lbs.http://www.highenergysports.com/hg_eparachutes.htm


OK, thanks alot, appreciated. I'll check them out now.
Regards,
Paul
