The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Maybe someone can help me.
I have a IO-360 C1C angle valve engine with christen system.
When I do hammerheads or rolls to the right I lose oil pressure and the propeller goes in coarse pitch...
Not good for performance!

Now my Idea is that in the horizontal oil sump the oil goes away from the central pickup and so the pressure drops...
Other thing is that the ball valve maybe needs to be angled at the firewall.

Any ideas?

Also I have a AEIO 360 oil sump, it has the same connections like the C1C plus a port on the back.
Maybe its a good idea to use the rear port as oil pickup point?

Here are pictures of the new sump:
