I have a BSR in my 701. If you contact me off line I'll be happy to send you some pictures.

Tracy,
I will send you pictures of my 701 installation offline.
BRS's recommendations regarding installation in a 701 probably won't work!
They recommend attaching two heavy "L"s to the inside back of the
unreinforced baggage compartment. These "L"s are strong, but not what they
are attached to. I understand that when the chute ignites, there is
considerable downward force, which would most certainly distort the baggage
compartment, which could prevent the chute from deploying properly. I added
reinforcement from which my 180# bod was able to hang from without
distortion.
My installation is behind the baggage compartment. This frees up baggage
space, but makes the plane's CG a little further aft than I would like (but
still within limits) Another advantage of a behind baggage compartment
installation is protection from the shell. Have you ever have a shell go off
right behind your head?
Regards,
Les
