Re: fire extinguishing system

Just a note of caution before anyone starts experimenting: Mark Waddelow died experimenting with Halon. (Pretty sure that's documented in an old Q-Talk but couldn't locate it tonite.) Halon is not

Re: fire extinguishing system

Re: fire extinguishing system

One problem I see with a Halon type extinguisher is that you may suffocate... I carry a big camping knife secured on my left side arm rest to break the canopy if need be. Does double duty as a
