Ben_Chiu Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Inverted fuel and oil systems" 05-23-03, 18:28z  Greetings! I'm interested in learning some more about inverted fuel and oil systems (e.g. systems that permit fuel and oil flow/operation while the aircraft is inverted). I should probably be specific about the pieces that I'm unclear on: - Can anyone explain or point me to some reference that illustrates what inverted fuel tank pickup mechanisms look like? - I understand the concept of wet and dry oil sumps. Are dry sump oils systems used in high performance aerobatic aircraft like the Extra or is there some other system used? All explanations and/or illustrations most welcome. Thanks!
