I just got an Andair air/oil separator. If I don't intend to use the condensation trap do I just plug that connection and use it for draining. Thanks

You can just plug it, and drain every X amount of hours. If thats the route you choose to go I'd be interested in how much oil you collect.

I have the same set up on our -10 but I elected to run the drain down to the oil return line off #6 cyl. The belly has been completely dry, and oil consumption is less than 1/2 quart so far (10.5 hrs).

Andair Drain

I ran mine back to the crankcase via an unused fitting in the accessory housing. Yes...funky slime is recycled directly back into my engine. Totally dry belly!!

Thanks guys. I think I'll just plug it up at first to see what's collected. I post what I find. Eventually when I finish anyhow.

I have a home made air oil separator

and I collect the oil side in a small clear container below. I get about an ounce every five hours. Just watch out for low g maneuvers (testing, aero, etc.) The engine will fill up my vial on one flight easy.
