List,
Tom Bryant had good advice on stopping for me last year and it worked fine.
I eased in the clutch at the same time easing out of the fuel, popped it
into neutral, shut off the spark and fuel supply then deployed the chute. On
three runs, one over 200, I didn't use the chute and still had plenty of
time to get it stopped safely.
