• 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.

Just wondering how good everybody's inverted oil systems are behaving?

Do you have any attitudes where you loose oil pressure? (knife edge , down lines)

Where is your erect oil pick ups , in the middle , or to one side ?

Are your inverted oil selectors bolted straight on the fire wall , or just at an angle to aid vertically up operation??

My pick up is on the right hand side of the sump and thus I loose pressure in a left knife edge!

I see some modify their sumps and move their erect oil pick up towards the middle? Anybody done this??

Or may a Sky dynamics sump is the answer, but for 4k is it worth it!!?!??

Ta!!

Neil
