Etienne - since you decided to bring this into the public arena, I thought
it appropriate that I should tell a wider audience as to exactly the
background behind your accident. I think it is important to emphasise at the
beginning that we have never actually seen your aeroplane, and only
delivered a perfect and zero-timed PF engine to you a year before the
accident.
Early this year, in very cold weather, you wrote saying that the propeller
rpm was not stable and seem to vary. We thought it might be the very cold
weather in which you are flying, but after further discussion sent you a new
propeller governor.
Then, after a couple of months we understood that there was a likelihood of
a fuel problem, with varying fuel pressure, which is what probably caused
the rpm fluctuation in the beginning. Your engineers then dismantled large
parts of the fuel system; made various modifications to the fuel unions, and
indeed used significant amounts of "goo" hoping to improve the seal of these
different unions which they had disturbed - of course an absolute "no-no".
It was then felt that the system was working well; you did a 10 minute
ground test run, which again seemed good. So it was agreed that you would do
a further 10 minute test on the ground and if that was still good then fly
in the direct overhead of the airfield for a further 10 minutes. The second
test run appear to be fine; you took off; flew for 10 minutes in the
overhead and then, inexplicably, given that there was a potential problem
with the engine, you flew away from the airfield. We understand that you
began doing aerobatics, and at that stage you said that the "engine failed".
The countryside was flat and with reasonably large fields which should have
made for an easy forced-landing - but only you know exactly what happened.
So I would like to re-emphasise that the engine had been running perfectly;
there was a fuel system problem which was being investigated; this was
recognised by your engineers; and you decided to fly away from the safety of
the overhead of the airfield. There was never anything wrong with the engine
itself.

Heard there were four CJ-6's fueling at Jean Nevada today.
Wondering who they were? I am based at 3L2 Sky ranch Estates
approx. 12 miles West by N/W of Jean.

Here's a short DIY video I posted of replacing the CJ landing lights with LEDs.
