Read my above post, and the T.O.
Usually structural components are not installed with non structural screws and dimple washers through enlarged holes. (such as the other empennage fairings and wing fairings.
The "D" manuals clearly show the incorrect routing of the oil system tubes from the engine to oil cooler and back to the reservoir. Many "new" guys have boiled the oil on the first takeoff by folowing the manual.
Would you like to despute/debate that also and claim that all of the flying Mustangs are plumbed incorrectly as the manuals state otherwise?

I know that this is a little off the fin fillet topic; but since I consider myself one of the "new" guys I'd like to know what is incorrect in the manual re the oil lines? Don't want to someday make a mistake that others have obviously already made

Just some thoughts.

"Old Crow" and "Geraldine" have both flown with drops and fuselage fuel.
