Heck Mike, let me be among the first. There's no point in my trying to convince those suffering from 2-stroke phobia of their reliability and safety when properly maintained and operated. But, even if they were all you mistakenly believe they are, BRS is not the answer.
BRS is for saving your bacon when structural failures occur in flight. In an engine-out situation, you generally fly the airplane down and make the best landing you can. That's true whether your flying behind a P&W or a Stihl (though I suspect mountain flying and epilepsy might be exceptions to this general rule).
Kitfoxes are structurally sound and my Mod II needs every spare ounce for fuel and passenger. SO, at least in my case, BRS is like the proverbial "back pockets on a hog." Sure, I'd be "safer" with BRS. Microsoft Flight Simunator is safer too.

Chances are you have too much tail weight. Besides you need to know what your current problem is. Sorry to say this, but the BRS is a must if you have a 2 stroke. I'm going to catch heck now.
