Hi Paul, I am really envious of your idle speed. Mine is around 1600.  Any
ideas on how to get it down?  Temps are outstanding too!

Idle speed is: engine speed 800 rpm, with a prop speed of around 400 rpm's. (2.17:1 reduction ratio).  After 4 taxi runs and aborted takeoff runs, the oil temp got up to 185 degrees. Oil temp was lower, but unfortunately I failed to write it down and forgot. I believe it was around 160 or 165 on the oil temp. Outside air temp was 75 degrees. ---
