BRS Parachutes

Anyone have any idea how much added weight one of these systems are?  I'm not looking to install one, I'm thinking about buying a plane that has one, but considering removing it if I buy the plane.

BRS need some altitude to work....for me no use as I mostly fly between 20-200ft....

The BRS chute i had in my BlackFox was 21.4lbs. And was good for 1050lbs.  Useless dead weight if ur into low and slow flight like me. I pulled mine and for fun set it off in the front yard. Wasnt that much fun tho. Hahahaaaa
