Steve Schroeder Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 It's been in the mid 90's here in Van Nuys. The airport is down to only one runway instead of the normal two because of construction. Sometimes I have to wait up to 15 minutes in the runup area idling while waiting for takeoff clearance. My cylinder temps have gotten as high as 252 causing my Dynon to alarm which stresses me out. It cools right down after i get airborne and get some airflow. Will this cause any damage and what do you guys in Arizona do when it gets to be 110 degrees plus? Thanks! I have a SportCruiser with a 912ULS.

rtk Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Hi Steve, we chat a little about this on the Sportcruiser forum (SCflier.). There is a SB that modifies the lower cowl to help with engine cooling. I understand that it is very effective and allows for longer taxi times...though in our canopy, 15 minutes in the sun and I sweated off at least 6 pounds! https://czechsportaircraft.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/SB-SC-056.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
