made my first really hot day flight in 143WM this afternoon. Airport elevation 940 feet, OAT 88, Density Altitude 2800 ft.
I had to break off the climb (75 kts) at 3500 feet with oil temp at the top of the green arc.
Cruise alitude 3500 MSL, 5200 rpm, OAT 76deg.
EGTs: 1320/1270
CHTs: 197/192
Oil Temp 218-220, Oil pressure 54-58
I'm used to seeing oil temp more like 180-190, but at much cooler OAT. Are you guys in the great Southwast (or Florida) seeing oil temp like this? 700 rpm descent only dropped it to 207.
