Yes it happened to my Tri gear luckily my friend was flying it.
The hose had been protected by thermo sleeve (sliver coated material).
It still burnt through.
The engine cooked and 4 heads and 3 barrels replaced which costs a fortune.
I moved the radiator and oil cooler back as far as possible which has left s
ufficient space now.

ening again. Luckily it happened on the ground and not on the first flight o
r any other for that matter.
