On a test flight of an experimental RV-6 an ATP rated pilot lost all
oil due to the blowing of the front main seal. All the oil was
ejected out the front of the engine and the oil blew back to cover the
main windscreen in the front and the sides of the airplane. The pilot
and his one-pax were about 10 miles from the nearest airport as the
oil pressure went to zero.


Bill,
What ever happened to the PAX? I recall you said he was an
ex Luftwaffer sp? pilot trying to master the RV6 but was having
a hard time of it. Did he ever check out in the RV or did he have
to give it up.
