The BRS chute for my miniMax weighs 20 lbs.  The mounting straps
tie into the landinding gear structure which takes the loads.
This particular BRS system / chute has the limitation of 900 lbs
and 100 mph (IIRC).  This reminds me that I have just got to
finish this airplane - I'm almost ready for 'cover', but I
haven't touched it since Sept.  That's what 'work' and 'wife's'
do for airplane projects.  Alas, I can't live without either!
