Ballistic Parachute

Hi Folks,

who knows if there is a concept to install a ballistic parachute in a Q1 or in a Q2/Q200?

I imagine that wrapping the parachute belts around the main wing and around the canard, both inside the fuselage, could result in a sufficiently strong fixation. The belts of the canard I can imagine to let them exit from the fuselage through small cuts above the canards maximum thickness point and then tape them to the fuselage and let them run to the emplacement of the parachute container. The container could/should sensibly be placed behind the main bulkhead, behind the pilot.

Big thanks to whom that would pass to me his knowledge and his ideas.

I'm sure the weight wouldn't be a problem but just how fast can you be going when you launch a ballistic parachute? Also, for those who have the birds that can be split in half for transport, I'd be worried that the stress would pull the plane apart. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of BRS systems. I'm just not sure the Quickie could handle it.
