Hi guys
Ok so my story goes like this. I have a new setup all round.
I have 10 hrs total time on the aircraft and I have had problems with the oil system. I first noticed oil preasure drop while rolling, I illiminated the T, welded pickup on vacuumed pump plate, problem solved. I then noticed preasure drop on knife edge, uped the oil level from 6 to 8 qrts, problem solved. I now have preasure drop during zero G and prop fails coarse. I have not yet angled the ball valve.

My setup is lycoming 360 A1A 200hp, whirlwind 200AC prop, Jihostroj governor and christen inverted oil system.

Can someone help

Thanks
