Did it stay at 1800? Did richening the mixture reduce it? I've been seeing 1750 or so on climb out and throttling back to keep it below 1700. I'd be very interested in hear others EGTs, what limits they fly by and what adjustments might be made (mixture? timing?) to reduce them. >My EM2 red light blinks all the time, even if there is nothing on the screen that flashes. I have the same, but now I know what causes it. First you have to set up the fuel remaining so it doesnt think you're running out all the time. Second, at least for me, is oil pressure going out of bounds. On a cold start it tops 90 psi and I get a warning. When warm and I throttle back it drops below 30, and the warning pops up again. I could change the limits, but I'm used to it now. I also had a short (0.6) uneventful flight this afternoon. The bird is flying great once I get past the cold start techniques I haven't got down yet. - some tips and procedures here would be appreciated. I still have a nasty cold draft on my left hand. Cold enough that 0.6 was enough. More draft stopper foam in my future. John Slade 83.6 hrs.
