The best reason in my opinion for a BRS is in response to catastrophic airframe failure such as the wings calapsing or dynamic resonance, which we don't historicly have happen with KR's. A control failure would also justify a BRS. Anytime I can fly the airplane to the ground under control I wou

I have one BRS equipped plane - a Fisher ultralight At least with that install, if I ever have to 'pull it' the BRS will likely destroy the airframe in the process of getting me down safely... The flip side is that if your flying area is devoid of survivable emergency spots, it beats the hell

There is a KR on Oz with a BRS. I haven't seen it up close, but it belonged to Barry Kruyssen. I know he had it for sale a while back. Not sure where it is now. Take a look at http://www.athertonairport.com.au/kr2/ Cheers, Tony On 29 July 2015 at 02:12, Chris Prata via KRnet wrote: > I liv
