Lynn,
I am plumbing oil system and need your opinion on hose sizes...............I am trying to reduce
restriction as much as possible from engine to external filter ("WIX" HP6 equivalent),oil cooler
and return to engine..........I will have external oil pressure adjustment ("AVIAID" filter mount with
regulator for return to sump)...........I know most of the flying group are using AN-10 (a few AN-8)
but I am leaning to AN-12..............Overkill perhaps (HP6 flows up to 22 gal/min) but weighs less
than two HP1 + filter mount............I want to reduce pump heating of oil as much as possible and
reduce hose restriction losses by returning regulator bypass oil directly to sump with out passing
through the oil cooler and hose to it...........What say you.............
Best Regards,
(Wish I could attend Sun-N-Fun)
