My airline pilot friend, who is building a Lionheart, told
me what the CHTs were on the P&Ws he flew on the twin-engine Convair.
Max CHT, 260C, 500F. METO, 232C, 450F. RECOMMENDED
cruise, 204C, 400F. This was the temperature that they were
supposed to adjust their cowl flaps to achieve during cruise! BTW, I was asked,
on my first posting about CHT, to reference the source of my opinions,
which I subsequently did. I hope all that respond with other views will do
likewise.
