Default RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Our regulations over here require a functioning fire extinguisher to be avaliable during the start sequence of a model turbine. Most extinguishers avaliable from auto or hardware shops use dry powder which is very corrosive to metals such as what your typical turbine is made of. The solution is to use carbon dioxide, but my research has found that they are only avaliable commercially here and are quite expensive. I came across this small extinguisher that uses carbon dioxide as the extinguishing agent and for the rare time that it may be needed, may be ideal for our purpose.
