BRS offers a soft pack that measures 18" (L) X 11.5" (W) X 7.5" (H).
To modify an existing ship one would need to cut a hatch of those
dimensions in the top skin over the wing. It should fit the baggage
compartment of most existing sailplanes. Reinforce the skin and build
in a lip, the cut-out piece could become the hatch. Nylon webs attach
to all 4 lift fittings and the little red handle is routed forward and
mounted on the side of the instrument panel. I see no reason a ship
licenced experimental couldn't be so modified. The BRS-1350 has a 40'
chute and weighs 29#, good for max GW of 1350 and max speed of 138
mph.
Some ships may need to mount the chute farther back which can be done
with longer forward bridles, the Genesis uses 42" forward and 30"
rear. On deployment, some fuselage skin damage may occur, but what the
hell?
