Mold for enlarge duct opening nearly completed

May.

Subject: [FlyRotary] EGT temps
Hi all...I flew the SQ2000 again. Engine ran
great. Just flew around enjoying the thing. After removing the
thermostat, I found that upon reaching the end of the runway my water temps
were only 120 degrees instead of the normal 160 to 170 degrees. Temps rose
much slower than normal on climb-out. Actually fun to fly when you
don't have to keep focusing on temps all the time. Cruising at 4500
rpm's, the temps were very cool....stabilized at around 180 degrees at 1500'
AGL. Temos on the ground were around 78. When I increased the throttle
to 5300 rpm's in level flight, temps slowly started rising. I then noted the
EGT at 5300 rpm's. It was 1425. Does this sound a little too
high? If so, my mixture settings may be a little lean at those
rpm's. Just wondering what others are seeing for EFT temps for around
5300 rpm's. Thanks in advance for any and all replies. Paul
