After a 50 hours inspection me and my wife where going on a two hours flight and we had full tanks (120 gal), on take off I heard on the radio somebody say "the airplane that just took off has one engine smoking" Ok, I said thatīs me, but since the airplane has just come out of an inspection in which they had changed oil and filters I thoght it could be some residual oil, anyway from that moment my eyes where on the engine instruments. At about 300 feet agl the oil pressure on the front engine startet to drop so I feathered the propeller and shut the engine down, flew around the pattern and landed. The mechanic that has changed the oil and filter did not put the gasked on the filter of the front engine. The airplane flew like any single engine with two people and full of fuel, no damage to the engine but an oil shower to the airplane. Chachi
