• 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.

Never having used a vernatherm before I decided to try one. I understand the how and why of them but not which one. In browsing the internet I have found prices from $45 (used, eBay) to $573 Lycoming certified.
In my browsing's I ran across a statement by Larry Vetterman which was very adamant about removing the vernatherm and replacing it with an oil cooler bypass that was cockpit operated.
I guess I am in need of an education. I have had 3 auto engined aircraft without vernatherm's with no oil temperature problems so first question -
Do I need one ?
If so, what system is best, vernatherm or remote controlled bypass ?
If vernatherm, which one ?
Where is the best location for a vernatherm, engine mount, filter mount, remote mount or cooler mount ?
Any and all information greatly appreciated
Thank you,
