Mark;
You're exactly right. We are building a small
sump tank that will receive the oil from Tracy's PRSU, and the turbo, and then
it pumps back to the engine. Bob's really good with dry sump systems, so
we're pretty confident that this will be a good fix. There will be a lot
of oil in this system considering the size of the cooler, twin filters, sump
tank, and the plumbing. Should make w/b interesting.

Greg,
She wanted a backseat so she would have space to
put her shopping bags. Go figure!
I have a question concerning
the placement of your turbo. It looks like it will be lower than the oil
sump. Are you planning on using a pump to get the oil back to the
sump? Tom Parkes had trouble with the drain on his turbo 3-rotor Lancair
ES and had to install a secondary pump. Thought I would
ask...

Hey Mark;
Yeah, I have been following that thread, should be
interesting when I go to get a quote, with the horsepower I am looking
at. As for needing 4 places vs. 2, about 90% of my flying is
solo, so if I need 4 places, I'll rent a spam
can.....(:-)

Greg,
Excellent choice on airframes. The
Legacy would have been my first choice, but I was out-voted by the wife
who wanted a 4-place. Have you been following the LML thread
concerning insurance? I'm insured with AIG but they have gotten much
tougher on who they will insure beginning in 2009. I go through
Skysmith Insurance agency so they're not tied to AIG, but AIG had the best
quote.

Hey Mark;
It's going into a Legacy, and other than it's a
Garrett, I don't remember the model number. I'll check back in my
paperwork and get that to you.

Hi Greg,
Nice setup. What type
Lancair is that going into? What model turbo did you use?
