Chest parachute? (need more room in my Discus A !!)

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, Paul Paul 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. Rick
