Fire Blankets, sometimes called Pyro Blankets. Has anyone considered their use for smothering fires, rather then hitting them with potentially damaging chemical extingushers ? Seem's like they would be ideal for outboard turbines.

The following is an ad for a typical Fire Blanket. Do a search and check out their potential. >

Fire Blanket, O/W, 24" x 30" $24.90 Each

Your electronics and probably most of the airframe will be melted by the time the fire consumes all the O2 under the rather large tent that the blanket will make when you throw it over the airframe. Dont use a dry powder extinguisher-Just spend the money and get a 5 pound CO2 or a Halon/Halotron. Scott
