Personally, I'm going for more of a closed cockpit, so I think the ballistic chute is a better choice and you get 25 Lb credit which nets you another 7 pounds on the airframe (which will probably be needed). I mostly want to make sure I'm adding enough weight that it will be useful for more people 'regular-sized' people rather than the anorexic few...
again:
What I was going to use for weight (initial) calculations is:
155 airframe
25 ballistic chute (I'm guessing actual weight closer to 18 lb)
220 pilot and equipment.
That is 400 fly-away -- anybody see a problem with that?
