Paul Lamar,

I read your article about VTOL with 13B engine, but I think the vertical
position of the engine at take off and land with oil pan on the side problem
need to be addressed.  Though it might take short time, but the engine run
at max red line, and some time it hover over time, What is you consideration
and suggestion of mods to the oil pan and drain system?  I'm thinking of
aplate is used to block off this side of the engine and a new sump
<http://www.rx8club.com/#>and pump are used under the engine installation.

Some sort of dry sump system is definitely called for.
