Hi guys,
I did the oil cooler move below the spinner for the Rotax 912s and it has been
very successful.
I control the amount of oil cooling required in winter by putting aluminum tape
over the cooler.
Works a treat! Peter Kemper was the original builder to do the modification.
Also looks very stylish.
Only I can say that!
Cheers,
Tim

Gidday,
I have a fitting in my roof panel that accommodates 2 x 2" gauges, or now I am
wondering about incorporating 2 eyeball vents, and incorporating Nigel Charles's
roof ventilation mod. The holes are 2" in diameter and there seems to be one
vent to suit at Spruce, albeit it is expensive.
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/roundvent1.php
Has anyone used these high quality eyeball vents and do you have an opinion I could
be privy to??

For interest, looking at Peters aircraft I never made a 'mustang snout' type of
arrangement when placing the oil cooler below the spinner. I used the same line
as the lower cowl and set the cooler back. I will post a picture tomorrow.

Subject: | Re: Sealing the water and oil coolers in a Classic |
Interesting location for the oil rad!
I would not have expected the physical area inside the cowl underneath the prop
to be large enough to house the oil rad. At first glance that seems to be a perfect
location for it, also providing an easy routing of the oil hoses. I will
keep this in mind as a 2nd option if my current approach doesn't work out.
Tim: thanks in advance for posting pictures, I would love to see how you arranged
this inside the cowl.
Can anyone please also provide answers to my original questions regarding rubber
flanges, so that I can move forward with my current approach?
Much appreciated!

Tony I bought a set of the Spruce eyeball vents which I did not use. They
are very well made and are currently sitting on the shelf in my garage.
You are most welcome to them could I mail them to your hotel in London to
collect next time you are in town?

Pete

Reading more about oil cooling I came across a thread mentioning a Laminova/Mocal
oil to water heat exchanger.
Anyone has one of those installed? If so, would you please care to share your experiences
in respect to oil and coolant temps at high and low OAT?
How do I determine which version to use in case I wish to get rid of the oil-cooler
altogether?

Hi Marcel
This is an old topic and I have repeated these
words many time:
I have had a Laminova since 2007 and +250 flight
hours and I am completely happy w it.
I am not sure about the type /size I think it is
the middle size (look at an attachment).
If I remember correct, during those days they had
only one size or so.
It works well during all OAT conditions
between -23C ... +32C which I have experienced so
far.
When cold, the oil temp follows the water temp but
a bit below and when hot, it follows the water
temp but a bit over.
Always between the limits.
When very hot, I prefer moderate climbing speed
(around 500 f/min and 100 knots) and equal power
settings to keep temps well below their limits.
During a full power cruise I have never temp
problems at all.
When very cold (= -10C or colder), I tape off let
us say 50% or more about the air-intake to the
water cooler.
Please notice I have also a water thermostat to
reach minimum temps more quick and to keep them
well over the minimums also during long and speedy
(+150 knots) iddle descendings (which I really
love).
Also, I assume when only a water-cooler and no
oil-cooler behind it, it is better for airstreams
also and for water-cooling ability.
I do not know how it works in Classic with two
water radiators? Maybe you try and let us know!
Hope this helps.

Subject: | Re: Sealing the water and oil coolers in a Classic |
Thanks Raimo for your elaborate reply to my question and the pictures you sent
along. Apologies for not having used the search-function.
Finding out about the oil-water exchanger along with your findings made me think
that using an oil-water exchanger might be the best way to resolve my oil temp
issue.
Considering coolant and CHT temps always are 90-100 Celcius (regardless of OAT),
this approach might bring all temps to the low end of the curve, but I guess
if that happens the temps can easily pushed up into the green zone easily by
blanking of part of the water rads or by installing a thermostat in the water
circuit...

Subject: | Oil Cooler move to below the Spinner |
Hi Marcel,
Pictures, hopefully, of the Oil cooler move to below the spinner without
the snout added.
Remember my cooler was the original cooler for the Monowheel Kit # 292.
It is smaller then the XS model cooler. Originally it was piggy backed
behind the port water
radiator for the Rotax 912 80HP however when the Rotax 912S came to the
market it produced more heat requiring a different cooling setup.
Then came the XS model with bigger cowlings to allow more leg room for
the US market and a complete
redesign of the cooling system under the engine.
Cheers,
Tim

I think we might be neck and neck on build completion or 90% done with 90%

tailplane No SM 10401 that should do it.I am being asked for an LAA mod for
fuel line piping which I have completed in 5/16 aluminium tube with AN
fittings and recited the fuel valve on the floor of the fuselage with an
extension control shaft coming up through the centre section of the cockpit

for this? Also I am going to have to buy a radio soon anyone have any
thoughts no what to go for and how soon will 8.33 separation become
mandatory?
I still have loads to do.

Yes, I have one as my primary oil cooler.
I'm perfectly happy with it. It eliminates the need for a thermostat, as
the oil warms up quickly by the coolant. Oil temp follows the coolant
temp closely.
In my case, I can regulate the coolant temp perfectly with my servo
controlled cowl flap.
I have some good news for you: I have a spare mocal left over. I started
with a small one but it was too small for my 914, so I replaced it with
a bigger one. The small one should work very well for your engine.
You are free to try it and/or make an offer. You only need to order the
oil connectors for it as I re-used them for my new Laminova. I can point
you to some silicone hose suppliers as well so you can plumb it in.
> If so, would you please care to

> and low OAT?
It doesn't really matter in my case as I can get exactly the temperature
I wish regardless of OAT, speed, altitude or power setting.
Usually, the oil temp will become a bit (say 10C) higher than the
coolant temp, but as I like to keep my coolant at the hot side (for
economy/performance reasons, about 110C) I had the oil temp creeping up
to 120C and found this just a bit too much. So I installed a very tiny
oil/air cooler in series with the Laminova and that solved the problem.

The size of my spare Mocal would be perfect for you.
