(Gary Zilik) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 07:52:12 AM PST US From: "Bryan Flood" Subject: RV9-List: Oil cooler selection? --> RV9-List message posted by: "Bryan Flood" Does anyone remember a couple years ago an Rv-8 that had a bad in flight fire, apparently because of an oil leak, through an oil cooler? I had heard that it was an automotive type cooler, but don't really know the details specifically, and of course I am about to buy an oil cooler... Does anyone have any info on this event or could point to a specific oil cooler that was involved in this incident?

I'm finishing up the fuselage (all slow build) and haven't used one. I'm sure they are nice, but my first complete plane build I wanted it hand crafted. It is probably silly, I know, but it is the reason I didn't do a quick build either. I wanted to be able to say I built the whole thing myself. We already get enough grief from the older guys who say we are only "assembliers" not "builders" because of the matched hole cnc process. Hate to think what these quys are saying about quick build builders. Anyway, I know all of that is Bull, get in the air faster get a quick build and all that, but I'm happy doing it the slow build way and I will know my airplane inside out. I could tell ya a story about a quick build quy I ran into at Van's who couldn't even reccognize a part I was getting. He couldn't remember putting it together in his plane. It was because he was building a quick build and didn't put it together. No biggy though! Same old thing with tail and nose gear pilots, uh? I'm on a super tight budget also, though!
