You will have to remove your oil pan and check for pickup tube/screen clearance
by installing my pan on your engine. Use a bit of clay in there and the
problem area will be identified. Or cut a large hole in the bottom of my
pan and then install it on your engine.

Round or square your choice. Make it about 1/2 inch deeper than the screen.

Paul,

Another dumb question:  What happens to the oil supply to the engine when the aircraft is vertical or upside down, as in looping or rolling?  (Ground loop excluded-- too late to worry at that point :).

For aerobatics you need a dry sump system designed for aerobatics.
