 Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2015 8:10 am Post subject: Inverted Fuel and Christen Lubrication System for RV-6 Lycom |
 |
|
As I possess a Van's RV-6 with a Lycoming O-320 which has never flown aerobatics and whose fuel and lubrication systems are not adapted to this purpose I would be grateful if you could enlighten me on the following:
- What modifications are necessary for the carburettor for aerobatics, whether it can be modified or needs replacement
- How can a Christen oil system be installed for lubrication for aerobatics
- Which companies in Europe can do such modifications or upgrading
- Approximately how much would such modifications/upgrading cost (just in case you have any idea, as I can ask any qualified companies myself).
This is sent both in the RV-6 and Lycoming lists.
Thanks.
Kind regards,
George Nielsen

I have an IO-320 that I would sell for $8000 but I believe the shipping costs would be a bit too much. my email address is jdhcv(at)yahoo.com
*If you have missed knowing me, you have missed nothing. If you have missed
some of my emails, you may have missed a laugh. But, if you have missed
knowing my LORD and SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST you have missed everything in the
world.
May God's blessings be upon you.*

There’s nothing stopping you from flying aerobatics behind that engine now George … it’s just that you can’t sustain negative-G for very long without the engine sputtering and the oil pressure dropping, but you could do all sorts of interesting gentleman’s aerobatics nonetheless. At least you don’t have to worry about an oil-pressure related prop overspeed … given the fixed pitch.
It’s hardly worth adding the extra complexity and weight to an O-320. The inverted oil system also acts as a very long breather tube, so the accumulation of combustion by-products in those pipes during upright flight (most of the time) is carried back into the sump when you roll inverted and oil flow changes direction - which predicates more frequent oil changes.
