I have a model 4 under construction, and it has been converted to a nose gear type, with a pretty heavy engine installed. I figured I could counterweight the craft with a ballistic parachute installation behind or above the seat (and add some safety). I already have grove gear on it, so the gear should handle the extra weight on landing. What should I be looking for or watching out for buying a used BRS system? Top mount would preserve the cabin space, but add wind drag, yes? Any other comments welcome too.
thanks
Roger
