Raven Oil Inverted Kit

N

Nigel

I'm New Here
Hi Guys, first time on the blog! I have an RV14 in Sydney Aus and I am getting tired of cleaning oil off the belly after aeros.
Has anyone fitted a Raven Kit for inverted flight? Either the half kit which is just the oil/separator or the full kit for inverted flight?
I am concerned about fitting the full kit in my RV14 due to space, so if any of you have done so and have photos, I would love to see them and also a brief explanation of how you went about it.
Many thanks, Nigel

Nigel, you got a great looking plane! Really love your paint job - so simple and clean. Are there more pictures?
 
Sweet Looking Airplane!!

And a data point on the 1/2 raven. I put one on my RV7 IO360M1B and still get a slight amount of oil on the belly with no aero. I am sure it is coming from the vent tube.

Aero performed during PH I including hammer head & slow roll did not seem to be yield any different deposits but not definitively evaluated.
 
Couple of pics as requested

Thanks, Bill and MalteJ
I have a youtube channel if you want to see it in action.

When I bought the plane (not my build) I was not happy with the paintwork on the fuse. It looked like my RV had a big belly so I changed it to something more befitting the amazing machine the RV14 is. You can see the difference
