It has already been tested and (as I recall) the pilot and passenger walked
away. Picture attached. Was it Poland or the Czech Republic?

Well they talk funny there too.
That is amazing. I can't put a screw in the canopy without causing a crack yet this one can have a rocket go off inches away and not damage it.
Look at the gear on that thing. It pulled MANY G's on impact and yet the wings stayed on.

If anybody is interested in where the CZAW and european ULM versions have their BRS installed, have a look at the ULM-drawings (6-UL-5).
I am not sure if the 600kg BRS-version would fit right behind the firewall? The ULM version only needs the lighter 450kg parachute.

I'm considering mounting a BRS-1350 between the firewall and the instrument panel of my 601XL with 650 canopy.
Here's pictures: http://picasaweb.google.com/Patrick.Hoyt/BRS#
When using the 650 canopy on the XL, I believe that the usual baggage compartment location is no longer possible due to the 650 canopy covering what previously would have been the frangible cover installed in a cutout of top skin. It may be possible to mount the BRS behind the baggage compartment bulkhead, but that would move the CG much further aft.
The challenge with putting the BRS up front is that it will displace depth behind the panel, which will limit what can be put in the panel on the passenger's side. To partially mitigate this, I fabricated a pan that allows the BRS to sit lower. I plan to "fine tune" my CG with appropriate placement of the battery.
I'm interested in what other people are doing, particularly those who are installing BRS's on 650's or XL's with 650 canopies.
