It amazes me that many do not realize how much engineering goes into what seems to them to be simple structures on aircraft.

You cannot change one thing in an aircraft design without affecting 6 others...

Do you want your "last option" to be testing something that may not work?
|
Glass 1/2 full, or 1/2 empty 
When all else fails, the "last option" might work during the testing... as has been demonstrated a few times in history. |

I agree, this is why, despite having graduated from the best scientific uni in the World, I seeked help from Vans and Galaxy for my chute design. I even had a meeting with BRS ceo before deciding I had to go with my own design. Sure, testing would be better, but not yet possible for me. |

Well at least you're not going into this blindly. Be cautious though, there are plenty of "experts" that are anxious to share their "knowledge".
I'm always amazed by statements that start with "I don't know anything about this but..." |
