I had the same problem in my S1-T. I use a Butler chute with the container made to fit the size/shape of the seat pan with a wedge shape profile. The wedge shape is to put less hight in the back so I can sit lower. Using the full size of the seat pan also helps spread out the chute more than a standard seat pack. This arrangement works very well. I believe Butler will custom make containers to any specs you want.

Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2001 21:18:05 EST Test fitting a Pitts S-1S recently I had trouble with my 6'-4" height and chair style (combination back and seat) parachute. I'm not too bad on clearance from the canopy (with headset) but my long legs require every bit of room I can spare and I'll clearly need a seat-pack. I need recommendations on the thinnest seat pack available. Also, if anybody in the Wichita area has one I'd like to borrow it for a test fit in another local S-1S. Thanks!
