I had a discussion yesterday about inverted flight with no flop tubes. I was told that an 8 will supply fuel for around 30 seconds inverted with no tubes fitted, assuming sufficient fuel in the tank. This assumes inverted oil system fitted!
True or false? Anyone confirm?
Interesting to read this. On that note anyone got thoughts on a non inverted oil system and how long could one expect a neg G influence on the oil before some serious damage might result? Yeah I know how long is a piece of string but occasionally when I roll I might get a small amount of Neg G (accidentally) going inverted but only a few seconds, anyone?
Has anyone every a header tank in the fwd cargo? It would be easy to service the flop tube and a small 3 gal could be all you need? I know it works well on high wing planes not sure about a low wing? Might need a extra pump somewhere?
