The cars, especially the 13Btt do the same thing. Heat soak-I added a temp gauge that reads in degrees on my car and it goes over 226F easily if you let it-then the electric radiator fans come on. I added a boat blower in the engine compartment on my 94 rx7. One will go in the plane as well........
