Just to be clear, this Jenny had five fuel lines, two forward of the firewall which
were MIL-6000 hose with hose clamp connections, and three aft of the firewall
which were aluminum tube with flare fittings, all current practice, not as
original which would've been copper lines with flared fittings all the way I
believe. The fuel valve screwed into the bottom of the fuel tank sump, an aluminum
line ran from there to the gascolator on the back of the firewall (accessible
through an access door on the side cowl), another aluminum line ran from
the gascolator to a wobble pump next to the pilot's seat, and another aluminum
line ran from there to a bulkhead fitting at the firewall. From there a MIL-6000
hose ran to the fuel pump on the back of the engine, and another MIL-6000
hose ran from there to the carburetor on top of the engine.
Also, the prop did not lose a whole three feet of one blade, it lost a 30 inch
piece of one leading edge, a few inches wide at the tip and tapering to a point
at the inboard end.

Well, I fear that I have created more heat than light in this thread. I am almost
sorry to have even shared it. My only goal was to point out what was likely
a contributing factor in the final outcome of this accident. And how it might
affect all of us builders and flyers if we make similar choices. Nothing more.
I sense that there are some forum members that are upset that this has been brought
up before any final report. Neither I, nor the original writer, are accusing
a man that was by all accounts, a great pilot and a great human being of anything
other than being human. The point of the thread was to emphasize that
we all need to think of our choices as we build and how they can affect us in
a worst case scenario.
FWIW, whether it was 3 feet of prop or only 30 inches of the leading edge, I can
only imagine that the assymetrical loads of that extremely unbalanced prop made
for a wild ride in that final descent.
