With the help of some of you I compared their product with Phoenix and the one from Aircraft Spruce, which SafeCraft makes known as the AS.<BR><BR>I chose the LT. model and compared it directly with the AS both on the SafeCraft website, <A href="http://www.safecraft.com/motorsports_model_lt.htm">http://www.safecraft.com/motorsports_model_lt.htm</A> The big difference was how the bottle could be mounted. The AS is required to be mounted vertical with the nozzle in the down position since there is no pickup in the bottle. The LT. can be mounted either on it's side or vertical with the nozzle in the up position or any where in between. This was the only major differences according to SafeCraft. They both include extinguisher with 1301 halon, 15 foot pull cable, mount bracket(s), aircraft "T" bar clamps, 10 feet of discharge tubing, 3 spray nozzles, and all fittings. They both are about 6.5lb and are refillable<BR><BR>I ordered mine from Livermore Performance out of California <A href="http://www.livermoreperformance.com/SafeCraft%20LT%20System.html">http://www.livermoreperformance.com/SafeCraft%20LT%20System.html</A> the cost was 299.99 plus shipping 2nd day air $28+ a $40 Hazmat charge by UPS. The 5lb pound AS from spruce is $ 379 shipping would be about the same for the same distance they quoted me $25 from GA to FL. ground.<BR><BR>I am building an XL-RG and we are planning to mount the unit on the floor behind the rear seat to the gear bulkhead. We will be making a light cover over it so no luggage will damage it.<BR>We are putting two nozzles in the engine area and one nozzle in the battery area.<BR><BR>I know a Halon system may be overkill but I have spent a great deal of time and money on something I dreamed
about for ten years. The $299 price tag seemed good insurance compared to a melting hulk of dreams on a runway or field somewhere.<BR><BR>I hope this is helpful to someone else that may be considering a system.<BR><BR>Good building and safe flying<BR>Steve<BR>XL-RG N787SB<BR><BR><BR></FONT></FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
