Does experimental category apply or is it limited, etc? If all operators had to comply with all mods, then wouldn't Old Crow and PE need the fin added? Nah!

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 thought this crash was caused by no coolant? Not to mention the pilot not having a medical.
Thanks
