Here is a press release I received that might be of interest. Is anyone
putting a Balistic Rcovery Chute on their 601's?
AMD INSTALLS FIRST BRS PARACHUTE IN ZODIAC 601XL
Eastman Georgia
February 01, 2007:
Aircraft Manufacturing & Development Co. (AMD) is pleased to announce the
first BRS (Ballistic Recovery Systems) parachute installation in a Zodiac
601XL - SLSA. The aircraft was certified on January 30th 2007 at the
production facilities in Eastman, Georgia.
"Flying the Zodiac is super fun. Its excellent maneuverability and
visibility are great features. Pilots and passengers are always looking at
increasing safety features and the BRS parachute provides that added
security." stated John Degonia, AMD's sales manager.
The Zodiac 601XL production Light-Sport Aircraft is based on the Zodiac CH
601 series design by aeronautical engineer Chris Heintz. The all-metal
Zodiac has been popular with kit aircraft enthusiasts since 1984 (with more
that 1,000 Zodiac aircraft flying worldwide), and since 2005 as an S-LSA
(factory produced Light-Sport Aircraft) manufactured in Eastman, Georgia by
AMD.
With the addition of the BRS parachute option, the Zodiac 601XL boasts more
available safety features than any other Light Sport Aircraft available on
the market today, including: AMSAFE SRS airbag seatbelts, lightning
protection (available on the IFR certified Zodiac XLi model), Tetra foam
seat cushions (absorbs "g" loads on a hard landing), super tough nose and
main gear system, classic all-metal construction, FAR33 certified aircraft
engine (Continental 0-200), Sensenich propeller and more.

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> Yes; count me in. I'm not ready yet, pplanning on being further down the road beofre starting on it. Got their drawings for the installation, and was pretty impressed. The only thing I didn't care for was the esthetics of having the straps show, so I am planning to do a false side skin to cover them, riveted on the bottom and held at the top and sides with something like silicone caulking, that will tear off easily. Also to cover the wretched contours where I screwed up. Not that I really expect CH's design to come apart, more on the order of "just because I can".

[quote]I'm planning to put one in mine. I think I've heard all arguments in favor and against, my conclusion is still to go for it.
