    Default Personal Parachute

    Anyone fly with a personal parachute in their kitfox? Was thinking about it in my 4. Any space issues?

    I just don’t know why you would. The only aircraft I have flown with a parachute are when I’m doing hard aerobatics or gliding as you are in tight with other gliders in the same thermal.

    In my own situation, I install a BRS system in every plane I own, it is more than the last resort it is peace of mind while hauling my favorite people, my wife, daughters and grandkids. And really anyone who is with me, things happen that we can not sometimes be prepared for so if this is a possible way to save a life i am all in for this type of reserve.
