I have run my engine stationary for a couple of hours now, just trying to fine tune the EC2. My temps are fine for about 4-5 minutes but definitely not enough airflow to cool the oil when stationary so takes lots of short run ups, I'm thinking its better to just rough tune then get on the runway to get some air through the coolers. definitely need to rig up a video to record, as too much happens at once. I had a TC & AP inspection in Sept. lots of little issues to fix with the airframe which I'd neglected, due to being so immersed in the powerplant. most bits done now so will be back into engine runs again soon.

Hi Guys
For those who have tested and flying their machines.
I=E2=80=99m finally about to ground(stationary) test our Renesis 4 port pow= ered Glassier Super IIRG
EC2, EM3, RD1-C Electrical Pitch Prop.

Your wisdom, experiences, testing procedures to carry out would be very muc= h appreciated.

Particularly whats reasonable to expect from my cooling system (modelled of= Tracy=E2=80=99s RV8)?
Now I=E2=80=99m sure it depends upon load and OAT, but what where your expe= riences?
How long could you guys run before overheating etc?
Did you provide any supplemental cooling to extend this testing?
I=E2=80=99m thinking of putting a water mist jet into the cooling duct/s to= see if it significantly increases cooling and time testing.

Appreciate you feedback.

Sincerely

Steve Izett
