I would estimate that it would cost around $50,000 to "officially" 
prove who was responsible for reversing or specifying incorrectly, 
the valves position.

To reverse the valve costs less than $0.10 if you are the builder and 
if you have the great pictures on how the valve should be positioned. 
If you don,t have these pictures, let me know and I will send them to 
you.

It is not obvious at all. I believe that at least 1/2 of the flying 
Lancairs that are using the new pumps, have the spool valves in 
backwards. Most of the time everything works just fine.
