Oooo, me like! I've *wondered* about doing that, but never bothered to ask if anyone's tried it. Works great for cars, so....

How about setting a rotary record & flying down to MS for the roundup next month? I know you have the tankage for it. :-)

I just tubed it over to the air filter box, but I've always been curious as to what others are doing with this as well, but just never bothered to ask.

I am finally finishing my renesis rebuild, with so much help from this list-- thanks
 
My question is with regard to the ventilation of the case. it seems that the rotary has a nipple off of the filler tube for this purpose... (I don't think that I have that tube currently and will probably make one)
 
Using this port, is it a good idea to just plumb it out of the back of the airplane as with a crank case vent?
Is the amount of oil/vapor created significant enough to collect it and recycle it?
 
What ch'all doing?
 
Thanks again,
 
Rich
