The 35 pounds
or so the BRS adds to the non-flying part of the glider bothers me too.

It would likely reduce the allowable cockpit load.

Surely, as the BRS would be installed on or just behind the CG, it
would be more like carrying a turbo in that the cockpit load would
remain as before but the permitted amount of water ballast would be
decreased.
