Reminds me of those b&w films of the guy with a rocket strapped to his back.  (caught his pants on fire.)

Actually, might get some ram boost from the external surface burning (such as NASA Hyper Plane) and have to shut off the engine to keep from exceeding Vne {:>)

I'm sure that would look spectacular from the ground! Two streaming flames - one from each wing dump.

Hummm, Lets see when "You're On Fire" alarm activates - have chip trigger fuel relay for "Fuel Dump Overboard" valve! Actually would not be hard to do and on the next board I am providing for some future growth of A/D inputs.

I like that Mark, but I'm not an electronics expert. Keep us informed if you do something.

Buly,

For an extra $6, you can get it assembled.  I ordered one and will report back when it arrives and I have a chance to run some tests.  Maybe we could talk Ed into adding this “You’re On Fire” feature to his fuel monitor.  ;-)
