![]() Oil cooled? Not familiar - these are air cooled engines. Yes they do depend on oil flow for some cooling - and they also depend on fuel flow for some degree of cooling - but they are essentially air-cooled engines. GF Ok,ok, I'm crying uncle.... ![]() Really guys, I do understand how the engines work on the planes I fly. Radial engines, on the other hand, I can only dream of getting to make that kind of noise. I was just trying to draw a distinction (with my poor wording) between the two types so that I could ask my question, and from what I had previously understood, the radial engines could often fly home clooled by air if they lost oil. This, as compared to a C182, which doesn't cool very well without it's oil..... You guys are a great source of info-thanks for your comments, and teaching me a few new things! -Jamie |
