----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Hi Alan... This has happened to me before, but I caught it before takeoff. I think the same idiot that put your cap on last weekend snuck into my hangar and put mine on too. Anyways, other than making a HUGE mess, it wasn't a big deal. I know of a guy with an experimental that put a Latch type bracket over his cap, but I'm sure it would require some legal paperwork (field approval?) to do this to an Ercoupe. Personally, I painted a line going forward and aft across the oil cap. That way if it's mis-aligned I might have a better chance of catching it. Then there is the ol' "look at the area on the ground where you did your run-up" technique too. Andy Pomeroy 2417H Arlington, WA ==^================================================================
