hello all,

i've done reading and geneseo this summer and had a blast! everyone loved the ryan. TT from KHTO to KGEN round trip was 8.0 hours.....and N2ER is dirty, from oil....had the R-56 topped 30 hrs. ago or so....is oil spray and a oily mess on the left side normal? or should i have a "clean" airframe? i'm getting sore from cleaning up and polishing after every flight...what gives?

have a great summer,

taylor

With only 30 hours since top you should be pritty clean / no or little oil. Check all your hose and fittings on the heads, it's not uncommon to have the push rod tubes or overhead oil system spring a little leak. Do not think it's leaking via exhaust since that side has the collector. How clean is it inside the cowling.....possible leak inside cowling.
