To allow for normal oil temperatures in wintertime, an oil cooler airflow shutter
is installed. Its position is semi-permanent. No cockpit controls are available,
however, its setting can be changed to one of the predetermined positions
through a handle/latch accessible through the oil filler door in the cowling.
7.10 Fuel system
There are 2 integral wing tanks, with a capacity of 21USG/79l each giving
a total system capacity of 42USG/157l.
They have fixed-low-lying pickups, meaning fuel can only be fed at zero to
positive load factors.
