Perry,

   I got the impression that you think that the peer-review 
process here may have failed Paul C.  That may be so, but 
IIRC, all too often we weren't even told about what he was 
up to until it was a ~fait accompli~.  I'd never seen the 
photo of his sump tank until after the crash.  My personal 
archives show only one photo this year - of his snorkle 
scoop.  The others that I've saved - which is darned near 
everything put up on the list, or pointed to - were all of 
his engine compartment, or things therein.

   I'd have to go search to verify it, but didn't someone 
catch the weakness in the location of his fuel pumps - 
strapped to a strut on his engine mount?  IIRc, that was 
right after the first engine out landing (the photo file 
is dated Mar-04)

   It's true that our informal process isn't especially 
efficient; but no process can work if a piece of work isn't 
submitted for review.

My $.002,
Dale R.
