like I said "make fun of me all u want..." but the chute is a couple extra inches on my back and will be the rear cushion, planning on moving the seat back rearward the 2 inches I need. In fact, the thing fiberglass seat in my avid was so comfortable, I once flew for almost 12 hours (2 quick fuel turns) with zero soreness. I saved that seat and plan to use it in the avid. moved rearward with only the bottom upholstery, unless the geometry wont work. there was also almost no legroom in the avid, you fly with knees bent, which was also not a problem. not to mention lets face it, climbing out of a single place with chute on has a certain coolness factor. at my increasing age I can use all of that I can get! at this point of course this is all talk. the avid is not fully sold yet and on the the kr project, I have only bought the plans from nvaero so far. hoping to go forward and accumulate skins, canopy, etc etc nd of course the wood fairly soon.

You won't have room to fart. And if you did gas, you would pass out before you could get out of the plane.
