I promised an update and never delivered.
BRS did get back to me very quick on my request. BRS is using 83.53 lbs and 169.38" to calculate W&B for retrofit aircraft. Obviously, on new builds, you would just weigh the aircraft. BRS said via email that the structure has additional support and/or bypasses baggage area structure, so you are only limited by CG on how much weight in the baggage area. I'll let y'all make up your own mind on whether this works for you or not. |
Does anyone know why the system is so expensive? Seems to be about 10k more than the 172/182 kits. I don?t know if I can justify it for that price.
|
interested!! any updates?
|
Umm...
Could it be that there have only been about 800 RV-10 kits sold versus the THOUSANDS of Cessnas?

2,000 RV kits sold
Hello, There have been 2,000 RV-10 kits sold and I have read that Vans says the RV-10 continues to be one of the best sellers in recent years.

Numbers
According to Van?s, there are currently 919 flying -10s. Still pales incomparison to the number of 172/182 aircraft out there...

Up to date statistics
Hi guys
Anyone has some statistics on how many actually installed? Do you believe they might reconsider the price? Oren |
Any update from those who have already purchased?
Any updates from those that have purchased the kit? Pictures of the installation and the general kit would be appreciated! Also what are your thoughts on W/B? having a chute back there beats the heck out of water ballast when flying solo!

The additional installation and metal work on the fuselage is not very eye pleasing in these pictures
https://brsaerospace.com/rv-10/ Has any one explore the option of running the BRS straps through the top surface of the canopy so that it can be well hidden under a light layer of fiberglass without affecting the aircraft contour/structure? |
Unless it is tested in flight, there is simply know if this thing will work.
If it doesn't work and becomes a "streamer", you would have been better off gliding to a landing, even a crash landing. I appreciate all of your concern but you might be better off putting that money into maintenance and additional training, if safety is your top priority. |
