They have my Alpi ELSA covered also. No claims, hangared, multi plane coverage. Still exorbitant. Even with all the breaks. May be we should exercise Some collective bargaining.

Lynn Nelsen ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:49:20 PM PST US Subject: Lightning-List: Oil on top of the dipstick From: "Bill Strahan" How's that for a weird subject line? I've noticed after every flight when I check my oil that there is oil on top of the dipstick cap. Imagine what it would look like if you flipped open the access door, and dropped 1 or maybe 2 drops of oil on top of the dipstick cap and waited for it to spread evenly to the edges. That is what it looks like. It is not just a thin film. I don't see oil anywhere else around it. The rest of the engine is very clean, but there is always that drop of oil on top of the cap. Anyone else experience this? Any ideas as to the cause?

Several of the dip stick caps have a problem with oil wicking up the center to the top. You can fix this by thoroughly cleaning the top of the dip stick and putting a drop of epoxy adhesive on the center. This will stop the oil from getting out.

I really need to go to one of the Jabiru engine seminars. Looks like something I'll take care of next time at the hangar. I assume the problem does not lead to any chance of the stick separating from cap.

My 2 cents' worth.
