It just seems to me that putting the BRS on top of the wing like the slower ultralights is going to introduce extra drag.The wing is already so clean that I would try to find a place inside the fuselage. My single seat Thundergull 2K has it up front between my feet, and the cg range is still right in the middle. Not only that, I think that it looks ugly way up on the wing. My oil tank for the oil injection system for the 503 is on the wing and I've been fretting about the ugliness and drag, as my hangar mate's Titan uses premix and the wing looks soooo much cleaner. I'm going to make a fibreglass faring to streamline the oil tank, and move the strobe that's mounted on the same bracket back to the verticle stab part of the rudder. All I have to do is figure out how to run the wiring nice and clean inside the fuselage tube.

Do all models experience less stable yaw. Is it very much or is it just noticeable?
