KRnetHeads,
Although the thought of using a fire extinguisher in flight almost
sounds worse than the fire itself, it's worth having a fire extinguisher
in the cockpit. It's not inconceivable that a fire could break out in
the engine compartment during flight...say an oil line ruptures and

Thanks Sid for having me over. Yes, ?I absorbed a lot of information last
night. One thing in particular was that your DAR required you to put doors in
to access your canopy hold down latches. I can see the purpose of having
exterior access for emergency egress.?
Also, ?about the dust in your ha

Halotron is the new "enviro-friendly" non-CFC Halon replacement. Like Halon,
it is designed to interrupt the chemical
Jeff asked,
"How many of you carry a fire extinguisher in your planes?"
I do!
I bought the little Halon unit that Aircraft Spruce sells. I don't
remember paying what they're currently asking for it but do remember it
wasn't cheap.
I'm normally not that concerned about in-flight fires so I

Mike;
I am the owner of N54PB here in Henderson Nevada. I too had problems with the
original design of the retractable landing gear as per the plans supplied by
Rand Robinson. The
Keep in mind what halon does is remove most of the oxygen in the air. You dump
halon in a small room and try to light a lighter it just won't happen. That was
a demonstration that used when we had it installed in the computer room. That
was many years ago when it was still allowed.

Paul Visk stopped by last night for a visit to look over N6242 . We had
three hours of intense discussion ranging from mission definition to getting
the washers on straight, to accompany the show & tell. The KRnet does help
get info out; Gatherings allow up-close real time viewing and conversa
Actually, halon works without removing O2, by inhibiting the combustion
reaction...
This is its advantage over traditional fire suppressants, which displace
oxygen and/or remove heat.
You can survive in an atmosphere of 5 to 10pct halon with only mild
disorientation, and 3pct is enough to stop mo

There are a lot of halon like materials. The datacenter I used to help run
used another air displacement system. I'll look up the brand shortly.
Halotron I think it was. It's a hydrocarbon, and it's evaporation and gas
displacment work for smothering, cooling, and displacing :-)
