ORIGINAL: John Redman

David Ried deployed my chute behind his F-4 a couple of times in flight (by accident) and it left the plane every time. It will break away if the speed is above 60 mph.

Tell him to stop doing that....

Good to know it comes off in real life!

Hustler58, that arm looks very good, but does that small thin section hold the parachute on and nothing else? Or does that arm fit through another slot or hole that stabilizes it? Anyway it is a slick idea, very good
