I'm considering putting an Accusump in my oil system to provide oil for short time zero/negative G operations. I figure a properly charged 1 quart system will provide oil pressure under these conditions for about 5 seconds (more than enough negative g for me!). I don't want to go to the expense, weight and complication of a more sophisticated system as I don't anticipate long time negative g maneuvers.

Has anyone used an Accusump for this purpose? Any specific problems?

Thanks,
