A very good point. Thanks. The possibility is there, but I don't know of any gliders that have burned after crashing. Does anyone know someone that had a post-crash fire? I do know of at least a couple gliders that caught on fire on the ramp due to the canopy, and some electrical fires in the air, but none from a crash. I think there was 2-22 or 2-33 that ignited the skid during a landing, and at least started smoking. True? -- Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA
