I don't have the 50lb C02 canister. All I have is a kitchen sized
extinquisher in the cockpit with me (the 50lb would be to unwieldy to be
useful there), and a water hose laid out next to the plane. I don't have
a body willing to hold either at the ready, so the limiting factor is
how quickly can I get up out of the cockpit. The 50lb would be to
unwieldy to be useful from the cockpit. Not optimum, I know, but it is
the best I've got at the moment.
