Recovery chute

[skyfox1]

Hi has anybody installed a recovery chute on a XP wire braced Drifter.

 

l have seen some on the king post do you have to beef up the post to take the extra weight.

 

cheers Geoff..

Hi Geoff, that is a realy good question.I tried the Lockwood Aircraft web site, since they still make wirebrace Drifters.I couldnt find anything there. I went to BRS web site, nothing there either.The only thing i found was a Photo of a WB drifter with a BRS fitted to the king post as you described.It "appears" to be the same. Maybe email Lockwood aircraft and ask them. Also ring or talk to Wayne Fisher at Spectrum Aviation at Lismore.He would know. I hope this helps
