	A 110 gallon foam bladder is located in a pouch attached to the inner wall of the bucket. The bladder may be accessed and serviced while the bucket is resting on the ground. You can used the "fb show" command while sitting in the helicopter on the ground to make the bucket visible in ground mode. The bladder has two yellow caps. The one facing up is for filling the bladder, and the one facing down is the foam outlet. The foam outlet cap must be removed before flight in order to use foam.

 Bucket Pick-Up from Ground
 ====GROUND PICK-UP AND SET-DOWN====
 The Kimbi Bucket system allows you to pick-up and set-down the bucket to/from the ground. Note that the pick-up/set-down features of this bucket assume that it is being used from a large flat surface. To perform a pick-up, use the "fb show" command while the helicopter is on the ground. As the helicopter picks up, the bucket will remain in place on the ground and the cable prims will automatically adjust to drape between the bucket and the helicopter. Once the helicopter is high enough over the bucket, the bucket will pick up off the ground. The bucket must be picked up within 30 degrees of vertical, or the cable will break if stretched too far.

The upper left corner of the panel shows the basic state of the bucket including the water level, the foam reservoir level and the current valve position. Under the bucket diagram are soft buttons for opening/closing the valve, and for turning the power pumps on/off. Below the bucket soft buttons is a readout showing the current volume of water in gallons contained by the bucket.
