Update - Slime Fighter
Guys,
Thanks for the inputs guys. Let me give you a little update. I had a great phone call with Bill from AirFlow and I did have the Slimefighter installed improperly. I had not properly rotated the canister and the return line was on top making it difficult for oil to drain back into the case. I rotated it today and cleaned everything up so that I can try to track oil spray. Winds are gusting up to 60kts up here in the NE so it is going to be a few days until I get a chance to give it a try. If this doesn't work Andy I will take you up on the air oil separator, thank you for the offer.
Jesse good question about the open end of the breather tube. I don't know if I am in a location that is causing issues. My tube is adjusted to end at the bottom of the cowl. I had started with it about 1" below and adjusted it up trying to get it out of the slip stream which I thought might create a vacuum. Is there a recommended height?
I was thinking about taping a few pieces of yarn to the bottom of the cowl and just aft of it to see what the air flow is like in that area. Does anyone know of data about air flow in this area?
Thanks again
