No personal experience with Europa though flew a tailless biplane glider for
years
with a BRS chute...the Cirrus install is dependent upon moulded in joggles
to accommodate the breakaway suspension straps... retrofitting same on Europa
would be a challenge while maintaining fuselage structural integrity but
probably
doable by some adventurous lad...considerable weight penalty and, I suspect,
significant regulatory hurdles which would rule out a one-off installation.
Not sure about Ireland, but in US we call it experimental aviation.
Good luck,
Fred
