Very
interesting. Does the vertical pipe come from an air-oil

directly from the breather fitting? Is all the oil that

the exhaust or does the airflow whip it about
elsewhere?
Charles,
Gulp... It doesn't work in flight because the exit airflow just blows the
oil from the breather into the air stream. I have a friend with a
Cozy that straps the breather tube to one exhaust pipe - It may be working
but he still gets oil/exhaust stains on his prop. Some people have welded
a fitting onto an exhaust pipe that routes the breather effluence into the hot
exhaust in hopes to burn the oil - they still have composite exhaust stains
where ever the whims of nature carries them.
This is the only way!
