Does anybody have that Kitplanes article that talks about
the reasons for experimental aircraft accidents?
Last few months.

I lost my copy and I wanted to scan the article.

One of the facts is mechanical engine failure was responsible
of 31% of the accidents. Not loss of fuel or ignition. Just
mechanical failer of the engine.

That absolutely  not be true if you had a rotary. The mechanical parts
are cannon proof.

Thought the graph may add something to the conversation.  Was thinking that a separate, non-filtered fuel line may be warranted. A line that could be switched ON should an emergency situation arise...?  Just a thought an nearly 30% of the failures are due to blocked fuel source.
