What do you do with a BRS parachute that expired in 1997? You shoot it off from the back of a 4-wheeler of course. It made for a great September EAA 896 meeting.
chute activated at :48, fully inflated at :51.5, VERY FAST! two thumbs up for a BRS, could open faster if dropping faster, could be slower if tangled, BUT! one account from inspection from a survivers plane noted that the wing buckled and covered the BRS system and the rocket shot out and pulled the chute so hard that it bent the ribs/struts and still opened perfectly!
Dogs love parachutes!
