Quote:
Some builders are willing to sacrifice money and performance for their
peace of mind. All we can do is look over their shoulder and point out
anything that is dangerous. If a builder wants to install two large
batteries, he will do it whether there is a Z figure for it or not.
Without guidance, his architecture could have a design flaw


Of course . . . and I have never suggested that
anyone fly with less than optimum comfort in their
design decisions. The freedom to customize
our projects goes to that goal.

Yes there have been gross failures in
batteries. There have been jugs thrown
from engines. There have been intractable
in-flight fires. But these are exceedingly
rare.

I believe the statistics will still
tell us that the #1 cause of engine failure
is fuel exhaustion. #1 cause of munched
airframes is from controlled or uncontrolled
flight into terrain; the outcomes of lapse in
attention to the necessities of heavier-than-air
flight.

There is a cartoon parody describing the
effects of over-worrying risks suffered from
the conduct of relatively ordinary tasks.

The "OSHA Cowboy" was hypothesized back in
the 70s . . . a classic complaint about the
effects of bureaucratic worrying becoming
law. OSHA folks are PAID to worry. Many
within the FAA are similarly engaged in
no-value-added rule making. ISO9000 was
probably the greatest destructive force
to creative innovation in the history
of industry.

At least for now, we are relatively free
of such encumbrances. But it behooves us
to explore, discuss, share, experiment and
discard all but the most effective
prophylactics against risk.

And I told him that switch makes his airplane less safe.
But I was only one person. Several others told my friend to install that
switch. So he did.

. . . and so you did your duty as an honorable
member of the community of aviators.

Fly comfortably my friend . . .
