I would like any expert advice on the following ...
When in a climb at full throttle and when climbing from altitude at full throttle, my CHT #3 drops. In the following chart, I start at 140ft MSL and climb to 8,500ft. Later in the flight I descend to 6,500ft and shortly there after climb back up to 8,500ft. The entire flight is a little more than 3 hours. This is a carbureted O320 with a fixed propeller.
I've notated the chart with arrows for the two periods.
