Redrive mounted, showing temporary nylon line. I didn't feel there

was

room for an 1/8" NPT fitting, so I drilled and tapped 10-32 holes,

and

drilled small holes through cut off AN3 bolts. I don't thrust a

hose to

stay on these stubs. The temporary nylon line shown broke during

the

first test flight. By the time I'd landed and taxied to my tiedown

spot,

"Low oil" light lit, I could only drain less than 1 quart, which

means I

sprayed some 5 quarts over the neighborhood (mosquito control).
Interestingly, oil pressure stayed up while I was loosing oil. If
anybody can direct me to a source for less than 1/8" NPT

fittings,

please let me know. Jim Mosur?

We can always rely on Finn to thoroughly explore what happens when
the myriad of possible errors are made :-)
