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.

He made a couple of errors in my opinion that no one caught. [snip]
