The Galaxy GRS systems can be fitted to a variety of aircraft. 'IN' systems are classed as soft types, normally in a fabric bag fitted inside the aircraft away from moisture and contamination. 'OUT' systems are for aircraft where this is not possible, like Trikes and Giros.
We can supply new systems for most types of aircraft, you may need to check with your manufacturer that it is suitable for a recovery system.

BMAA Inspector
I gained my BMAA inspector ticket in 2023. I have many hours of experience working on various aircraft. The first aircraft I built was a Mainair Triflyer, followed by a Rans S6 and then a Jabiru. I have also owned a CT and a Thruster. I was a director at Light Sport Aviation, also the test pilot and avionics engineer. We built and sold 28 aircraft.
My current Inspector rating is for Metal aircraft and Tube and Fabric types. (No composites at the moment). I'm based on the Isle of Wight.
