I don't believe a "manual" of "suggested/accepted" practice would be appropriate or particularly useful in an experimental arena. Nor would I expect most folks to pay a lot of attention to it.
A "black list" OTOH would be quite useful.
Good suggestion, Jim.
I also want to say, nothing I am desiring to do, or hoping the community would do... would be interpreted to stifle innovation.
There is a difference between (and I will admit, a fine line that blurs easily) between "good practice/workmanship" and "Do it this way cause I said so". There is a lot of experimenting to be done. Those who are doing this now are the next wave of pioneers. A "manual" written by those who have gone before, and learned the hard way, can help save a lot of blood sweat and tears.Areas will this will benefit will be fuel, cooling and perhaps the electrical end of things.
I respect your skepticism. And you are right.. this "group" WILL fizzle.. unless those who participate keep it from doing so. I will do my part. I just want to build engines, planes and share (the knowledge, experience and fun).
