just fold the laundry and stuff it in the bag, then press the spring in and fold the flaps over and stick the cable in.

Yea, Stroud all the way.

As mentioned they are soft opening & damn easy to repack. If you're planning to use the 'chute every pass, then spending the extra money for a spring launcher or c02 launcher is something to think about. But if the 'chute is only going to see limited use for emergencys, then the pilot 'chute/spring assembly it comes with could be good enough.

Mount the 'chute pack it's self as far above the wheelie bars as possible & pointed up a number of degrees away from the bars & into the air stream (instead of straight back). This will help reduce the chance it might get tangled in the bars, and increase it's exposure to the air moving over the top of the car & off the trailing edge of the trunk lid/deck wing.

i plan to have it for emergency use or some short shutdown tracks maybe.i'm hope to need it more when the new motor goes in. Very Happy i read that it should be mounted at 45*and NOT under the wing,but i dont have a wing anyway.i would'nt mind having a wing,just have'nt had a need for one and the body style dont realy have a very good line for it.thanks Dave.
