chute's cord. One should never give control of the plane over to the BRS
while you still have control and have a chance at a good landing. That said,
if you fold a wing, it doesn't matter how low and slow your bird is - it is
now a rock. The BRS is the only thing that might save your bacon.
I wonder if we should get an exemption petition going that allows a BRS
system to be added to an LSA without the weight counting towards the 1320#?
Perhaps an AC-61 issue? After all, it is in the name of safety! =)~

Which leads me to another question for you (and for the other folks on this
site as well) . . . while some people feel the BRS chutes are a total waste
of time and money (they also add weight / take away from the useable load of
an aircraft, and they take up a lot of space), other people feel the BRS
chutes are the best aircraft safety device ever created, and that every
aircraft should have one. . . . . And now on to my question: since many LSA
aircraft have a very limited useful load, and many of them are short on
space . . . since LSA aircraft can put down safely just about anywhere, do
you feel that in most cases it would be wise not to have BRS chutes
installed in LSA aircraft?
