My chute was a soft pack (not a canister) and BRS said to cut the skin 2"

wider than the chute pack on all sides. I scored the cover about 1/2 way

through to make certain that I did not cut too deeply but BRS provided no

insight regarding this.

I don't think BRS recommends a canister for the 701. I don't think they make

a big enough one for the job.

The BRS site is confusing. On this page it shows a picture of a canister with the caption "The shape that defines Sport aircraft. Small light weight fast opening, weights from 600 lbs to 1500."

But the specifications here (or click on "Specifications" at the bottom of the above page) don't list a canister above 1050 lbs:

Mike Sinclair's 701 tail dragger has a canister BRS which you can just barely make out in this thumbnail. Maybe he kept the weight down:

I’d post the full-sized picture but Barnstormers is down.
