BRS tells ANN that it
has completed its 11th ASTM conforming parachute installation ob
board an Apollo Fox LSA.
This comes on the heels of its milestone 10th installation,
completed in record time, for the Flight Design CTLS. "What a great
accomplishment of collaboration for all involved," said BRS CEO and
President, Larry Williams, "This is the kind of progress needed for
the burgeoning LSA market and it comes at a good time in our
company s history when we have sufficient in-house manufacturing
infrastructure and capacity now in place to take advantage of
projected increased sales for these types of aircraft."
BRS now has the following LSA installations complete (and is
working on finishing many additional models over the coming few
months): CZAW SportCruiser, Flight Design CTSW, Apollo Delta Jet
(Trike), Aeroprakt A-22 FPNA, FK-9, AMD-601, P&M Aviation Quik
Trike, P&M Aviation Quik GT450 Trike, Eurofox, Flight Design
