Re: Fire extinguishers??? 2 aren't enough!

Now I'm wondering how many there are (besides me) that like the idea of halon and are starting to think about putting a second fe in the plane.......Then again, maybe a larger one sitting in the back pocket of the pilot seat and the hell with its getting in the way or interference with others.......

George, I still don't know what to say other I'm still pretty much speechless when I look at the photos you posted. Btw, there are at least 2 195's at Merrill that have been sitting for a number of years that need something done to them, one of which looks pretty good (on the NE Apron near Stoddard's. But I imagine you are already aware of both of them.

George,

Here is a link to a nice 195 near me in PA.

Been up for sale for a few months. Didn't know if you are thinking about a replacement yet but I thought I would pass it along anyway.

George, Like Zane I don't have the words.

I was wondering if there was a STC for installing a fe bottle on the firewall of GA aircraft with a pull handle in the cabin. I figure this would add 5-10lbs to the forward cg but might be worth it.
