How would you handle oil pickup in the oil tank? Must I put a flop tube
in there or could I get away with a pickup about halfway
up the tank, figuring the tank is not supposed to go empty
like a fuel tank and should be in oil all the time. Oh no, what about
knife edge flight? Thanks for your insight.

Ben, Lynn refered to the Christian inverted oiling system. Now sold 
by Aviat I believe. There are several caged ball valves used
to prevent the feed from sucking air. Check them out before 
you do anything else. Bill Jepson
