The point of the thorax ties is to move the hackle, which imitates legs, to the body segment that the legs, and wings, actually sprout from. With a parachute tie your "legs" are sort of already pointed back that way, and toward the middle, and the front, presenting a fairly realistic silhouette. But a thorax parachute does sound interesting. And yeah. A foam parachute post would certainly help float it too.
I am too impatient to see Mitsy's pics of you guys efforts. I'm going over there. I got to drop stuff off anyway- and drink SD's. Booze. And give AKG crap about... Everything.
