Re: O-200 Oil Tank Too Big?

Ahh, the low profile oil sump. Not an easy trick. As Jay said, I built one out of aluminium. I also made one out of carbon fiber but only flew it a couple of times, I had problems attaching it to the engine. Probably photos on my blog or in my Q-List photos. Long Eze speedster Rob Martinson came up with a dry sump. Klaus built his out of CF for his Vari-Eze. I think the Voyager builders cut the bottom half off, then devised a way to add oil in flight. I could be wrong about that though. It's a big deal, lots of issues, and in my experience, not easy. Sam Sam
