I installed a 4 inch flex tube to bring
air from the left nostril over to the radiator and that solved the
problem! Water temps climb to around 208-9 or so on take off and then
they lower to the mid 190s. Oil is running about 175. Now that I can
fly without the fear that I am going to lose the temps, I can concentrate on
the checks I need to do during the 40 hour flyoff! Oat was bout 88
degrees.
I am flying off a Class C airport, so
temps are always high before I take the active.
