Hi all,
I'm new to the RV community. I just bought a used RV-4 this last weekend and flew it home to Oregon from Texas. It seemed to run and fly great except we had to add about 2 qts of oil to it over the duration of the flight (about 6-7hrs) to keep it at 6qts. This doesn't not seem right at all. Does anyone have any insight or experience with this?
A little more about the engine. Its an 0-306 A1A with ECI cylinders and an Airflow Performance Fuel injection system. It also has a Christen inverted oil system. Its got less than 400hrs SMOH and has a CS prop. I had a pre-buy and condition inspection before I purchased it and everything seemed fine. It has strong compression.
Thanks,
Eric
