pumps and wacky ideas
Tonight, while descending from 9500'
I kept the controller bypassed allowing the pump to flow at full speed. I
found that it cooled off so that the hot coolant out of the engine was below
the bottom scale of the gauge (<50C) and coolant press was 0psi. Then
when I entered the circuit and applied power, it ran rough until it
warmed up a bit.
Interesting. Hey Ed, Tracy, Bill (?), anyone else
without a thermostat- what sort of temps do you guys see when making a long
low power descent?
All great info Todd.
Thanks.

Rutsy,
Depends on the OAT, but in the
summer my coolant will drop to 160F on a long descent, in the winter it might
get down to 140F. Never noticed any problems from it although I am
undoubtedly not getting as good a milage at those temps. But, then I'm
letting down so presumably I am headed for landing
