X-Air Ultralight Aircraft BRS in X'air F

Hi John

Good luck, in my opinion, for what it's worth, it seems that if you can find an a/c of your type in Europe (pref Germany) that has been tested / certified by their national authority you maybe in with a chance. ?Otherwise keep flying over flat green fields. ?It is worth noting that more people (as quoted by the BRS suppliers)walk away from BRS forced landings than pilot controlled forced landings. ?
Pity' the powers that be ' do not push for all a/c upto 1000kg to be fitted with a BRS

Dear all,
?
?
I’m toying with fitting a Ballistic Parachute ( BRS ) in my UK registered? X’air Falcon 912? ( X’air F to most of the world )
?
How is this fitted? Externally or internally. Does the skin need to be modified or will it shoot through the existing velcro openings?
?
?
Is it? compatible with the long range tank I have fitted in the centre wing space above the fuse tube?
?
Does it need any fire proofing of fuel tanks. I’m a bit nervous about detonating a rocket a few inches from a fibre glass petrol tank !
?
?
If anyone has any photos of how its mountings I would be very grateful if you could email me a copy ?or post here.??I’ve googled and cannot find anything.
?
?
Annoyingly the BMAA will not grant me the usual extra 23kg as they say the aircraft is only tested to 450 kg, so I may need to remove it for its final weighing in a couple of years.
?
?
Also, just curious, what is the design weight limit of the X’air 912?? In the UK we are limited to 450 kg but I know in Germany it is allowed 472.5KG and would I be right in thinking it is allowed to be heavier in some other countries ( Canada ? Australia? )
?

Here are some photos that was sent to me yesterday, this is the best of everything because it has a soft packed parachute basically inside the wing and out of the airflow and the rocket is away from the fuel tank area. This would be in my opinion the best installation and again you are on the C of G point
