Hey XJet, if there's a choice with no penalty, why not have it all come out one place (exhaust) with a deflector rather than have half of it dribbling down the fuselage? Just curious. I know a little oil isn't that big of a deal to some, but a nusance to others.
Thanks,
Ernie

Ah, and there is the rub. I'm not convinced that recirculating the used oil does not come without a penalty. Surely, it must cause at least a very slight power loss, not to mention the fact that the oil, not being virgin, has had to have picked up contaminants, both chemically and in the particulate sense. I'll just let me do its thing traditionally. If goop bothers a person that much, perhaps electric or gasoline would provide a better, cleaner power source.
