OZBUSDRIVER;
I offend pilot /owners on a regular basis. Inspection two annuals ago, Piper Colt had a hole in the muffler- heater arrangement. I didn't nor could see it and the defect although not immediately life threatening, could have developed into such a scene shortly thereafter. I still have the offending piece cut out as evidence. Bugga, I just used that word "could" again. Thing is, a smart LAME without a signed blank cheque found and rectified the problem. Probably a strict liability offence.
