This is my RANS S-6 completed in 2011. It caught on fire on the way home from Oshkosh in 2012!

Fire was right at engine start. Long story but I think the positive terminal on the starter touched the (negative) muffler as the engine torqued during start. Those two basically instantly welded together and caught the battery cable on fire.
