Thanks to everyone, that pretty much confirmed what my impressions were. All
fluid lines will be fire sleeved. One data point on the integral vs. add on
fire sleeve, Bonaco is more than HALF ($457 vs. $1015) what Aircraft Hose is for
a $558 savings for my configuration. The only difference is that Bonaco's
fire sleeve isn't integral. I'll sacrifice the good looks and couple other minor
advantages for more than 50% savings. :)

The integral firesleeve hoses are the easiest way to accomplish this,
because they have none of the inconveniences of external firesleeve,
most if not all have teflon core, making them last at least as long as
the engine TBO. IIRC William Curtis has a list of all the hoses with
lengths and fittings on his website, so even ordering is easy. Of
course if Vans is supplying some of the hoses integral firesleeve,
that reduces the number you have to get from other sources.
And yes, I agree with John, you want any hose that carries flammable
liquids in front of the firewall to be firesleeve protected one way or
another.

They were taking names and model numbers at OSH last year just to get a
feel for how successful the homebuilt market would be and which models
they should be concerned with. Ditto with the BRS chute folks too....
Not sure if anything ever happened with the data though.

The problem with both items are the attach points and the fail safe
activation of the item. Considerable design would be required to implement
inflatable belts or BRS in an experimental. With many experimentals, the
volume required to justify the design costs would not exist. In addition
there is no guarantee that each experimental of a given class would be
structurally identical to the others. With a small market and little control
over the construction process, the risk of accident/lawsuit would far exceed
the rewards. IIRC the costs per inflatable seat restraint was going to be
about $2500+ each assuming that an acceptable installation design could be
determined. .

Lancair sells a system for their kits:
http://www.aerocraftparts.com/ItemForm.aspx?item=222-0008
I'm not sure if they would sell to other brands. We looked at it for a
customer and you pretty much had to forfeit the rear footwells to install
them in a Lancair IV because of all the added structure.

Tim, the girls will be fine. It will be the guys they are dating that pick them
up for prom on the bullet bike that you have to worry about.
I have heard many times that motorcycles and airplanes are almost identical on
the risk meter when it comes to fatalities.
Training and practice is the biggest factor for both to decrease the risks. I
have over 100,000 miles on my motorcycles and multiple 24 hours endurance rides,
all safe.
The MSF course and advanced courses are great for motorcycle training but the best
way to learn is to take a 10 day trip riding a few hundred miles a day around
our great country.
The same really is true for flying. When we get our private pilots license we
are very dangerous. We then learn more by going on cross country trips and landing
at many different airports and practicing our flight and weather planning.
So I'd say, throw that bike in the plane with your parachute, ride to a big bridge,
jump off the bridge, ride back to the airport and fly home:)
