Arcus M wiring incident this month

[2femaleb...@gmail.com]

This Arcus apparently had 2 wires that shorted early in flight when airborne but close to the field (the motor was already retracted). All OK, but lots of acrid smoke smothered with an extinguisher. Occurred under the rear seat pan possibly when the wires abraded against each other. Not the final word until reviewed by experts, however.
