>A goodly number of GA fires are in fact cockpit fires. We've got lots
of electronics and wiring in glider cockpits nowadays and fancy
batteries.

Too true. I wonder when that will start appearing in the accident
reports. More likely battery fires though with the amount of hardware in
cockpits nowadays. Then there are brake fires (towing a glider out to
launch with the airbrakes out and brake on is a way to do that),
canopies starting fires etc.

RAOFLMAO. That's why I love it.... ;-)
