Paul,

Sustained inverted flight obviously requires a flop tube and a dry sump oil
system, but what would be required for the cooling system?  Would something
like the dry sump oil system be required for the water pump to insure that
it didn't go dry during inverted flight.  When I say sustained inverted
flight, I am thinking a minute or less.

Hopefully the cooling system is pressurised so the water pump
should be OK. Maybe if you have an over flow tank. That might 
be a problem.
