I had a combined CHT/EGT installed recently.
A poster (MichaelR) suggested to go full throttle. My advice: Don't do that. Your CHT will be to high, you'll set yourself up for frequent cylinder overhauls. I take off full throttle and then throttle back to 2600. The CHT will be around 380 F, below the 400 F mark my mechanic advised me not to exceed. With 2600 RPM, I get about 95 knots indicated. (My C150 has no wheelpants. Word is, you'll see 5 to 10 knots more with wheelpants.) Typical cruising altitudes for me are 3500, 4500 and 5500. Went to 10500 once, overflying SFO class Bravo (full throttle of course), but the CHT was slightly over 400 F and this is not the best thing to do. I don't think I'll do that again. |
