REFLECTOR: One or Two oil coolers?

[Jim Agnew]

Greg,
 
Sam & I both fly with one cooler and it is normally adequate even in the hot FL summers.  However we both have larger diameter oil plumbing that the normal #8 which is less than 1/2" ID.  I use #10 Airquip SS/Teflon hose and the ID is over 1/2", the inside is very smooth and the #10 fittings have larger passageways than the normal #8.  Friction & restrictions can make a big difference in oil flow volume.
 
Maybe this addresses the reason who some do and some don't.
 
Jim

Oh chuckle, chuckle...the machinations we enter in the One or Two oil
coolers? Debate!

(lets hope we can leave it at that eh?)

Greg grinning in Sydney.

Then there are those that one cooler didn't seem to do the job,  we will

never know why for sure. So their cure was to install another cooler, 
which is fine.  But these folks just can't admit that there are 
Velocity's flying around with one cooler and working fine.  Why can't 
they admit that?

Mmmmm, why can't they admit it?  My own theory regarding the
inflexibility of their intellectual knowledge, that being to agree with
you, can reasonably be traced back to a traumatic childhood event,
likely lack of breast feeding.  Rather than choosing daily between right
and left, they were always fixated on the same bottle.  This resulted in
a stultification of decision making in that once decided, they have an
innate inability to change their mind, irrespective of the facts.....on
the other hand Scott, they might just be jerking your chain!?
