How well does it work?
I flew into Redmond Oregon today where it was about 96F on the ground..But I don't have the greatest oil cooling and by the time I taxiied in I had 212F oil temp at the ramp after I had climbed up to 10.5k to get over the Cascade mountains from 246MSL at Corvallis!
dropped off Killer Kate (she was going home to her Parents for the 4th July celebrations) and came back out into what felt like a blast furnace!
So I run Mogas and I'm a little nervous if the thing would have any chance of starting as I had heared it boiling in the injection lines as soon as I shut the motor down.
So I activated the purge valve and let it run while I did my prestart checklist (1 min 30 secs or so)
Hit the starter and it started right up no problem! Taxiing was a bit lumpy (localised boiling in the injector lines at idle) but other than that it worked fine.
FWIW

I was amazed to be honest!
