Please follow the fitting instructions of the shute. I have recently seen one that had the unit mounted to the firewall, and attached to the 4 engine mount attachments points. My (2 cents only only), but at what speed would this only tear out the firewall and save the engine only? and if it worked, the KR would descend tail first??? The instructions clearly say the aircraft should impact on its wheels to reduce the landing force, and attached to the spars for safety.
Also is has to blast through a layer of fibre glass of the top cowl. Again what could a rocket do when discharged under the cowl, and unable to get out to open, and again, what would it do to the firewall attachment? Instructions say it should blast through a fabric cover that is detachable from the rest of the material. Thankfully, This aircraft can no longer endanger anyone, it was taken off the register.
