Default Canopy size for Quest Aerospace One

I've just put the finishing touches on a Quest Aerospace One (with a few variations in the color scheme.) The kit came with a 14" parachute. The model weighs in at 3.9 oz. without the engine.

Should I go to an 18" parachute?

Thanks!

At least an 18" with all the sticky-outy bits. But not for the Strikefighter.

Thanks, John.

The Strikefighter comes with an 18". Maybe I'll just swap parachutes.
