It's crossed my mind, but while I have a little more time to work on the plane these days, I don't have that much time! You'd be forgiven for thinking that I'm in the same time zone as our brothers down under, as I'm usually burning the midnight oil when I'm making postings to the list at the end of my day.
   One of these years I'll make a tour down there and try to time it with your fly-in.

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
