Todd,
The line is, as you said, stored in the chute (at least the part which you
don´t need). You just pull out how much you need, or stow it away if to much
hangs out. I´m flying unlimited aerobatics and ANYTHING loose in the cockpit
is very distrating, but I´ve never had an issue with the static line so far
(I´m doning my chute when standing next to the cockpit and there is at least
5 ft of line hanging out)!

Happy landings,
Markus

A policy to always get out with the chute on would be a good one IMO.

So is this easy to do with the static line option? I'm not
familiar with the static line setup. I see posts saying
that the line is "7 meters" long, but I presume it's at
least partially stored in the chute, as that's a lot of line
to be floating around loose or stuffed into a corner of a
cockpit. Is there enough slack to allow regular practice
with the chute on, or do you have to uncouple the static to
practice?
