Fire season has arrived in the high country. The county I live in has just instituted a fire ban that prohibits operating any internal combustion engine without a spark arrester. Does anybody know if the muffler on my O.S. 46fx counts as a spark arrester. I ran it last night and I could't see any sparks coming from anywhere on the engine. Also, do you think there would be a real risk of fire in a crash? I found a really sweet place to fly that is a lot closer to me than the club field( 15 miles as opposed to almost 60). It's an abandoned road out in the gas patch that is on BLM land. The road is real smooth, hard-packed clay about 40' wide with a 1500'+ long straight section. Problem is, if I come down anywhere other than the road it will be into sage brush and dry range grass. I definitely don't want to be "that guy that started the great 2008 wildfire". Any comments, suggestions or similar experiences would be appreciated.
