OK, now that you've got my attention, where is the best place to but the BRS 5 750 canister?  I had a BRS 4 500 inside the cage under the tank. I took it out because the BRS was 12 years out of date and not big enough for the fat airplane and pilot.  Unfortunately the larger canister won't fit inside the cage, which is why it is on the shelf in the hanger.



I've seen them in front of the engine and I've seen them on the landing gear.  I don't particularly like either. Any suggestions? Pictures?



Perhaps the flat pack for on top of or under the gap seal?  If so I need to sell my current BRS.  It's only a year old and has never been registered, so it is considered new.  I think they are good for ten years, but I don't have the manual here at home.

Thank you in advance.

But ask BRS - they know the plane real well.

Just remember, no matter which way you fire it

(up, back and down under the tail or sideways)- it will end up

directly behind the plane when it opens.

Hopefully it will come up over the top after it opens.

John, 



I have a soft pack in the gap seal. But if I had already owned a canister, I would have mounted it in front of the engine, like so many others have. BRS should have instructions for how to mount it on a Firestar.

I mounted a VLS 750 on top of a FireFly - modified the wing root gap 

cover to partly cover the front part of the box case (opens at the 

rear) - cut and hemmed the opening with elastic rope (3/16" if I 

recall right)  so it would pull up snug over the top front edge 

veeing out towards and over the sides about half way back on the case 

-  the elastic rope makes it pull up snug against the sides, the 

rocket and around the back.  Turned out and worked pretty good.
