Yes I still watch the crap going on here but do my best not to get involved.
My BRS added 21 pounds to the baggage area at 1600mm.
The problem is that 1600mm is not what you will have. The chute sits on the
1850mm mark.
I dont have a CG problem until fuel goes down tp about 9 gallons. Then the
CG goes out to 465. Again in Europe the CG envelope goes from 300 to 520
mm.
A letter from CH on approving the 520mm is available but here in the USA
Zenith still wants 450.
I did move the battery forward 11 inches ahead of the firewall and my 601XL
flys nose heavy in test flights (so far).
The overall weight of the BRS is 29 pounds which includes all hardware.
If I knew before about the BRS in Europe, where they install the chute in
front of the instrument panel I would have gone with that instead of the
baggage area. The forward BRS is a 1050 pound rated unit. Mine is the
1350.
In front, the balance would have been easier but not much room for
instruments.

That is a design goal of BRS. If they made the landing slower, to save the (already damaged airplane), there is a big chance of wind drifting or even rasing in thermals that could make the landing more dangerous. Imagine a damage airplane being drifted though the edge of a canyon.. I am not shure about the exact number (read it several years ago), but is around 700 fpm. (need to check it) Some damage can be spected to the airplane and or passenger(s), but will save their lives.

The primary purpose of BRS chutes is to save the passengers, the airframe is secondary. do not archive.

Which model do you have Scott?

Gig:
I purchased and installed the 1350 Softpack. At the time it was $4,000. "System Weight" = 29 lbs = total weight including brackets & straps.
You and I have been at this airplane-building a long time, huh? Let's meet at a fly-in somewhere soon to celebrate two finished projects.
