I mounted a 1050 BRS canister below the rear hatch. The Genesis was
designed with BRS in mind, but never tested. The bridle mounts to the 4
lift-fitting, hard points just inside the skin. When deployed below 130
knots and not over 1050 GW, it will bring me down wings level with nose
down about 30 degrees. If I should get center-punched bad enough to wipe
out the BRS, I figure I would no longer be among the living, anyway. I
feel very secure with my little red handle at arms reach and talk about a
comfortable cockpit!

But JJ, unlike most of us, you have confidence (and experience) in capsule
descents;^)
