Hi all,

unless I had a CHT indicator for EVERY cylinder I'd rather stick with Robinson's manual.....

Oil-level is kept at 8 quarts - the 9th is blown out the breather-tube in no time.
Has anyone ever tried one of the oil-seperators on the market?
Any problem with STC or field installation?

Buy the R-44 from the local dealer! The small amout you save by buying in the US ( ...the dealer gives you some of his commission as a rebate, because he knows he will never see you again)
However as good as the Robinson is, it still needs good maintenance. Your local dealer will not touch it unless you PAY for it! If it is a Robinson issue, Robinson will pay for it - while under warranty.
In my opinion the saved money doesn't warrant the possible trouble you are looking for....
