Jim Meade Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 I am not near my logs at this moment so I wonder if anyone knows for sure the BRS parachute model for the CTSW. Is it possibly 1350? The reason I am interested is because I want to know the published deployment speed. In some circumstances it might affect how I would maneuver the airplane or instruct my passenger (e.g., pull the throttle first at all costs) before deployment. Of course, sometimes one can not control the aircraft and then it may not be possible to maneuver before deployment. Here is the BRS page with information on various models. http://brsparachutes.com/files/brsparachutes/files/BRS%206%20Specifications.pdf
Jim Meade Posted November 27, 2011 Author Report Posted November 27, 2011 Thanks for the quick response. I'm glad to hear it's the 1350HS version. I wonder what the tested strength is? We all know that none of us ever fly over 1320 pounds, let alone the 1350.
Jim Meade Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Posted November 28, 2011 BTW,. my Aircraft Log Book lists my parachute as a 1350, but the label on the actual device identifies it as a 1350HS, a major difference in my opinion. I wonder if I should add a comment to the log book clarifying the model? I guess I won't.

johngpilot Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 There is a 1350 it is in a square bag while the 1350HS is in a white canister one is sleeve deployed one is bag deployed.1350HS is in a bag.
