Default BRS for emergencies

Earlier, George Young wrote:

Jim......You are misinformed about the Owl project. The BRS was

He never said it was deployed by the pilot.

The glider literally disintegrated with the pilot
being ejected through the canopy still strapped
into the seat pan.


Somehow I don't think that's a good thing.

the wreckage descended safely to the ground.


All safety is relative. Every sense of security is at least partly
false.

Thanks, Bob K.
