Hi Vinny. Thanks for the information. That's really interesting about the oil. Always cool to hear research like this first hand. Glad you did the leg work with analyzing the oil.

Ed, that's good information also. Did you manage to do any lifting capacity tests? I wonder if ATF would work okay in the system. I don't see why not. Funny thing about running a pump long term. In an RC jet, they have to run for a while. As long as the turbine is running anyhow. We'd not need to run them long for dumping a load.
