• 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.

Hi All,


I am having an issue with the Christen Inverted System in my S1. Just replaced my sump on an O-360 with Airflow Performance with a Superior cold-air induction sump. Hooked everything back up, but now when inverted the oil pressure goes straight to zero. We double checked that everything is hooked up right (it is), and was wondering what to do next.


Oil pressure is running higher than before (about 90-95 instead of 70-75) while upright. Not sure if this is any indication as to why the inverted portion is not getting oil pressure, but thought I would throw it out there.


Any ideas would be welcome.


Thanks,


Jim
