As Matt stated the chute I have is so light it stays fully inflated during taxi and the model can be hard to taxi back. The best thing to do is to release the chute after landing. 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.
I have a release mechanism which works very well Billy, and can take care of you. Shoot me a pm and we'll get you hooked up bud. I don't do these much any more, but will take care of one of my So Cal bud's.
Damn.....I thought no one noticed! John does have the best chute system out there. The one on my Phantom deploys reliably 99% of the time. IF you do depoy it in the air chances are pretty good you will not even notice it come out if you are at high speed.
