REFLECTOR: Reflector: a current pic of my plane

Tue Jan 27 13:48:14 CST 2009

I have fought oil temperature problems since first flying my Franklin 
powered Velocity.  I used a NACA scoop in front with an oil cooler emptying 
into a collector box, then dumping out the bottom or directed to the inside. 
I couldn't get enough cooling so I added a second oil cooler - also in 
front - with a second NACA scoop both dumping in the same heat box.  Now it 
appears that I can't get the air out of the collector box fast enough.  It 
builds up pressure and leaks around the connections, making the cabin too 
hot and I am not getting adequate cooling.

My long hoses, two oil coolers and an oil filter makes for a long wait for 
oil temps to rise before take-off.  In our cold climate, this can take 20 
minutes.  It has been suggested that I install a valve that allows 
circumventing the lines to the front to get oil back to the engine faster. 
Perhaps instead, I should install the second oil cooler back in the engine 
compartment or in the wing and install it in parallel rather than in series 
as is currently the case.  Any comments?  Thanks, JT
