Thanks Robert for the info, and it is much appreciated! Yes, structure integrity is precisely my concerns to put in a BRS into such a small bird, due to its primarily wood and foam/fiber glass structure design.... The brighter part of the equation is that, the whole thing is so light, with around 1k pond or less gross weight, so may be a light version (around 900 lb) BRS could be utilized... The challenge for experimental or "amateur build" world is that, it's extremely costly or difficult for doing some decent lab or wind tunnel tests....!
Stay safe & fly high!
