    Designing an aircraft with BRS

    G'day all, I too am interested in BRS setups - specifically in the upper limits of their capabilities. I'd like to know could an off the shelf BRS be retrofitted onto an RV type airframe and what the operational limits might be if you could. Cheers Tom

    Ive just finished reading the first 16 pages of this thread and would like to add a few thoughts. Please excuse any repetition.

    Direct drive SBC
