      I fully understood your reason for posting. What I read in the post was the fuel
      line [system] being the major factor in the fatalities, when the issue was the
      propeller. The fuel line was a contributing factor after the fact.
      
      I just wanted to point out that the Jenny is a safe aircraft and so is its fuel
      system for the time it was built. Could it have been better, sure, improved in
      the rebuilt, sure, but it was to be rebuilt as original ... a choice.
      
      Every Piet builder picks and choose the amount of risk they are comfortable with
      in building their plane, conscious or unconscious of the effect.
      
      So its a good recommendation to look at your fuel system setup, but also to look
      at all the items one uses in their build from the wood, glue, to and including
      the finish. One change could be the difference between you walking away or
      not. Now your proficiency as a pilot, another subject.
      
      Thanks for post it, makes one think.

      Keri Ann, 
      
      Now I see YOUR point. 
      
      The propeller appears to have been THE cause, and it does bring up a discussion
      of propeller choices - new, used, composite, solid wood, laminated wood, professionally
      made, DIY. 
      
      Many choices, and we all need to think through those choices and what their possible
      outcomes could be. I think the thing that I took away, is this - the crack
      in the copper appears to have come from the inside of the prop out, not the
      other way around. Filing that in the memory bank in case I ever come on that
      situation in my own building and flying.
