  George Graham used a Setrab cooler in his airplane. I think Lynn uses
Setrab as well. I'm putting a Setrab in my RV-4.

Has George had good luck with his Setrab? I ask, because the consensus on the RV list, is that these coolers are too lightly built. Several have split open, causing engine fires in RVs. Does anyone know if Setrab has redesigned their cooler, ala Positech?

That is interesting. We have had three in-flight fires because
of oil coolers splitting. One was fatal. I assumed they were
cheap Chinese oil cooler bought from Griffin rad. I had
no idea Setrab coolers also split in aircraft service.
