This has nothing to do directly with the Paul Conner crash
   but all you pusher guys make sure your aileron control system
   is protected from any part such as a fan belt, hose, muffler
   etc. cannot lock the aileron controls if the part comes loose.

   I would build a strong sheet metal cover and install it over the
   control system.

I have also changed my mind about large diameter AN (-16 to -24) water plumbing.
It is very very stiff and applies a lot of stress on the
parts that are welded to the aircraft mounted radiators when the
engine moves around. It is better, I think to use, the blue silicone
hose and Breeze constant torque hose clamps as it is far more flexible.
