At long last right? Yes, 3 high power runs on the ground the length of a 4000 ft runway will get the temps up. At WOT I don't find adequate cooling until I hit 120 MPH IAS, any airspeed below that at high power settings starts the temps up. Did he say when he saw 249F? If right after take off with the temps already high, I would not be highly surprised. Now if he saw that in level pattern altitude with the power pulled back then you might have some cooling work ahead of you. Any mention of rpm on take off? What static are you getting? In any case, congratulations. Now if my new prop will just appear on my door step in the next couple of days, I will be in good shape for getting to Sun & Fun. Since I understand that is in your test area - any thoughts on showing up in it at S&F?

Tom Hahn flew it since I had not realized that I needed a CFI endorsement for my insurance to activate. He has flown most of the local RV's on first flight. He had run the airplane at high power 3 times the length of the field (4000 feet of soft turf) and the coolant temp was very hot when he took off. Oil temps were good. > > He saw an indicated coolant temp of 249, but no coolant appeared to blow out of the system. Talked to Tracy and he said there were 2 different sensors and maybe I was cal'd wrong. We checked it and the cal was correct. It did not seem that hot when we taxied in and snatched the top cowl off. > > Scratching head on next step, but the airplane flew great! > > Bernie > > >> Homepage: http://www.flyrotary.com/ > >> Archive: http://lancaironline.net/lists/flyrotary/List.html >
