Does anyone use a fire suppression system in their RV? Planning on a 7 build that will be used for some entry level acro competition before we get a dedicated acro plane. Was planning on doing the Ti firewall and belly pans, but wasn't sure if a suppression system in the engine made sense. Bottle would be mounted behind the seat. A few questions:
There's a few Halon replacements out there, one is a cold gas type that I want to avoid because it will likely supercool the cylinders and cause engine damage. The other options are a gas or aqueous foam.
Is Halon gas effective in an engine bay with as much airflow as the RV cowl? 3 nozzles come with the kit, plan was one on the battery and one on each side of the engine.
Should the engine nozzles be under the engine aimed at the exhaust or on top of the motor so it gets sucked through the fins and dispersed as it flows down? Should they be on the front of the plenum faced towards the firewall or on the back of the motor facing forward?
If anyone has worked an acro team or a reno team that used a suppression system, any details would be great. Can't find much info on Google. Thanks.
