For those who are striving to convince their club officers or Board of Directors that turbine flying can be done safely, it might be a good idea to follow the recommendation of JPO and BVM with a good water fire fighting set up like the one below.

Biggest concern of many clubs is the fire resulting from a crash. Being able to wet the area surrounding the turbine model after a crash can significantly reduce the amount of fire damage, even in grass or dry areas. If a fire resulting from a battery or fuel cell cannot be put out with a fire extinguisher directly, wetting the area surrounding the burning wreckage will prevent it from spreading, especially in lower wind situations.

I'm not selling these, nor do I have stock in the company...just trying to increase awareness for a safe, fun flying season and maybe even see a few "new" turbine friendly clubs join the scene. [8D]
