I think that was Chuck Halbert? Had a 3 rotor in Velocity I believe, two engine out landings due to fire from burst oil cooler as I recall. Last one didn't have time to get the gear down but minimal damage to his bird. He related that his spouse "suggested" that he put an aircraft engine in his plane.

That wasn't Greg, he had a 2-rotor, with an adequate oil cooler.

(Wasn't Greg the one who had to change his 3-rotor under "spousal pressure" for a Lycosaurus, due to repeated oil-cooler rupture?)
