Remi,
I would be glad to look at photo's of your cowl and coolers and make
suggestions that are cheap and fairly fast.
Please also look at your exhaust as I have seen three recently with
significant leaks. Near disaster really.
The blade you have is long enough to get air to the cooling duct on the
XS. Taxi in course prop setting. I get a significant airflow by
running up to 2300 and then going manual and course back to 1900 to get
more flow of blade and water pump.
Best Regards,
Bud

Hi Bud,
I really think the solutions to overheating on the ground are either
more airflow from the prop or a complete rework of the cooling system.
The first one means better blades. The second one means a bigger and/or
more effective radiator and a completely redesigned cowl. I have made
only limited mods to my cowl which produced some positive results and I
am not prepared to make a completely new cowl as I do not like when the
plane is grounded for months and I cannot fly! I am not ready either to
spend the money to replace my prop, unless I manage to break it one day.
So I have to live with this issue and be careful not to boil over.
Thanks for your comments.
Remi
