MessageThanks, Steve.
Mixture adjustment was what made my problem go away also, but only after I
landed. That said, I didnt mess with the mixture much during the flight -
just headed home.
The temps you recorded are higher than I've seen, and would certainly make
me nervous. What was the ambient?
I see the same heat soak after a flight. I think it's from the steel of the
engine rather than the turbo. I can land with coolant temp at 180. 10
minutes after shutdown its 220, even with the nspection door open to let the
heat out.
Sounds like you made the right decision. It only takes one thing out of
order for me to head home immediately at this stage.
regards,
John
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........
