A question to those in the know.
Does anyone see an issue with this routing for the oil screen hosing from the inverted valve.
It is how it has always been on this aircraft and there were no reported issues prior.
The bend concerns me a little bit there isn't really a place for an airlock etc, and given the tight confines of the area behind the engine on the Pitts S1 it is a challenging area.
I could swing the fitting over and make it a straight run from the inverted valve but the hose would only be about 6" long so I wasn't keen as it could load things heavily and have minimal flex as the hose age hardens.
Thoughts?
