I bet you'd have to watch the turn angles to keep the oil in the right places. Even if it's dry sump I can think of a few issues.

Ahh, I forgot to post about it after Oshkosh this year. I talked to the owner and we discussed tuning possibilities and such. It is a "turbo" motor but will be operating under 0 boost. Its designed to keep air pressure for the motor and the pressurized at 0 DA since it'll be a high altitude aircraft, it'll never see any boost as we know it.

If I can find my camera cable i'll post more pics.

That's what I thought at first.. "boy he's gonna need a mighty big turbo to boost at 30,000 feet..."
