Like many of you I'd never met Paul in person, but I admired his tenacity and looked forward to meeting him in person one day. This really is sad news and I extend my deepest sympathies to his family and friends including this list as we all were his friends. I hope the FAA does allow input during the investigation from one of the local list members (Tracy, Lynn or Rusty?) that has an understanding of the aircraft rotary conversion, so as to hopefully find the truth, so that we may all learn from this. I fear that they may just call it "failure of a modified engine" and be done with it, which would just add to this tragedy. Let's do our best to learn from this and fly safe. I hope to still meet Paul some day, but not anytime soon my friends. Todd C-FSTB RV-9endurance 13B Turbo
