Where have some of you mounted a fire extinguisher. I want to mount one of the small Halon type in my Classic 4.

I mounted mine on the center console...just in front of the flap handle.

I mounted mine on the floor up against and parallel to the left side of the
fuselage using the quick-release bracket that came with the unit. Easy to
reach with pilot's left hand or from outside when on the ground.

Mine is mounted like Lynn's: just in front of the flap handle.

Mine's sideways in front of the pilot's stick, mounted to the floorboard.
It seemed the most out-of-the-way, yet handiest, spot.

Thanks for the Ideas everyone. Now I can go out to the shop and try them out.

Mine is in a similar location but laterally in front of the passengers seat
so the pilot can reach it easier. There isn't too much room there for
passengers feet as my ELT is just to the right of the flap lever..

Thanks Noel, I know what you mean by "not much room". I am 6'3" and long legged. I have been taking lessons in a Stinson and now when I sit in my kitfox it seems kind of small.

I was going to do my float endorsement ( a long story ) in a Stinson 108. A
lovely airplane with a few eccentricities. My problem wasn't height but
width. With the two of us in the cockpit there wasn't enough room for me to
hold the yoke all the way back. I did fly a few miles but had to hold the
left side of the yoke with my right hand ( right seat ). I suggested to my
friend that we take the doors off and that would give me the required room
to operate the controls properly. I find with the stick 6there is a lot
less unusable room in the cockpit. Two of us could have flown the Kitfox no
prob except I've been grounded until I get the endorsement.
I went to another friend and have done several hours in his Super Cub. It's
a lot closer to the Kitfox in the way it flies than the Stinson. Almost a
dirt bike for the skies.
