Well, I am just thinking about potential problems, if any.... Glad to hear that there is actually people using this system without any troubles. Could you give me a bit more info about the exact setup. I am looking in a single unit located in the front of my pusher. What are the pipes used? 5052-0 1/2 inch od? BestRegards,

Intresting, I am not too sure to understand your message. Do you mean that on the ground, it really gets hot inside? I am concerned about the reliablity of the installation, ie oil pressure drop dur to those long lines. Do you have any figures to give me? What is your oil pressure currently? Do you only have one oil radiator, or multiple ones? Regards!

Well, I am not buiding a Velocity, but an Orion, which is a pusher plane, with a T tail. It has a central engine with a 2 meters drive shaft. All of those Orions are a bit tail heavy, and hence, placing the cooler in the front might be a good idea from a balance standpoint. Anyone has already experienced the long oil pipes? thanks for the answers!

Hello, I am quite curious to understand exactly how the front remote oil cooler is setup on the velocity. I understood that the cooler is connected to the engine using aluminium pipes that are quite long ( kit is 26ft of pipes ). Isn't there might be a reliablity issue there? Any specific method to make sure pipes will not break? Also, what about pressure drop due to this long pipes? Is there a single cooler in the front, or one in the front, one in the back? I tried to use the search tool of the forum, but did not found any clear explaination about the front oil cooler setup! Thanks for the answers!
