Well I am not sure of the model. I inherited it when I first got my LongEZ. I kept it after I sold the Long and then put it on my Velo. It looks just like the one in ACS which sells for $49. Before I installed it I would loose the first two quarts within about three hours on my IO-360. After I installed it, I can fill to 8 quarts and don't see a drop of more than a quart in about ten hours or more. By my standards this seems to be working. I am however, not sure about what shape the return oil is in which returns to my crankcase. Wish I could get that high RPM but my max is 2600. I am flying a Catto three blade which is not pitched properly. I only get 2350 on static. I have sent it back once to Craig Catto for re-pitch but it needs to go back again. Just waiting for winter here in Western New York.

Lou, a man of few words.
So Lou, was this the $400 unit, $49 unit?? Make model?
2400 RPM seems really low, you actually cruise at 2400 RPM?? With an IO 360 I cruised at 2700-26750! I thought the Velocity should go as fast as I could peddle!

I am running a IO-360 at about 2400 RPM in cruise. It has eliminated most of the oil on the cowl and I seem to be able to keep oil in the pan after I fill it up which did not happen before.

Jeff,
The info that would be really helpful is, what type and size engine do have, how do you run it at cruise(RPM) and has the $49 unit eliminated "all,most,some" oil streaks from your cowl? Also did you operate before teh $49 unit was installed so you have a reference?

The main difference in the $400 one and the $49 one in the aircraft spruce catalogue is the faa stamp of approval. I have one of the $49 dollar ones and they are composed of billet aluminum (not pot aluminum) and a tig welded base. They are very strong and I have never heard of any of them breaking... They see very little strain and minimal vibration if remote mounted on the fire wall. like I said the main difference is it is not approved by the faa for certified aircraft. Thanx Jeff

Milt, I don't understand what "pop metal" is. Can you explain?

How much difference is there in the $400 units and the $49 unit in the ASC catalogue. Why?
