You will also need a redundent, cable, release in the case of failure of the
primary steering wheel release.

I read the post about being able to release the chute without taking either
hand off the steering wheel. This is interesting and makes sense.
I am building an enclosed cockpit lakester.
My question is, what is a super-reliable, fool-proof system for releasing the
chute using a button/ switch on the steering wheel? I assume it would be
something of an electrical or air-actuated release. What I guess I'm asking is
what is the safest and most reliable method of accomplishing this. A lever and
cable release, which I see used by many, seems very reliable and fool-proof,
but the hands-on-the-wheel idea seems to have merit also. Decisions, decisions!
Thanks.
