Hi again, just an update on the loss of the Naked Lady. We still have not come up with a plausible explanation for the loss of power on the engine. I sent one fuel line to the NTSB for lab inspection, as it was suspected it may have had a fatigue crack. Under microscopic inspection, that theory was disproved, so we are back to square one.
I am not near as concerned about finding the cause, as I am about some of the things that have come to light about how the rescue process works.
I would urge you all to check into the situation in your local area, and find out the chain of events works, should you find yourself in the situation I was in. I won't go into detail on this forum, but if you have any specific questions, PM me, and I will be happy to answer.
I thank the Lord that I am still with you, and the loss of the aircraft is of small consequence, considering.
Thanks for your caring support.
