Default Air exit vent with engine box?

The air extractor noise is a bit different to other sounds in flight, perhaps a quieter version of a gear door being open.

How strange. The vent should have nothing in common with an engine compartment.

Unfortunately, a casual attitude towards fuel in composite aircraft can end in tears. For example, ASH25M VH-GSI returned to Germany for a year and a half to get rebuilt.
After my friend's incident, I asked Rex Mayes to install a Safecraft extinguisher in my then ASH26E. It's likely the first fire extinguisher installed in SLSP and documented on the ASH26E Tech Pages, linked from the ASH26E/31Mi newsgroup.
There is a firewall, whether a good one or not. Definitely not if you drill holes in it.

Why would an engine stowed away in the engine compartment catch fire?! And if it could, why is there no fire sensor installed? So no, it's not a fire wall.
