Some questions about DA20 (TCM-powered)

Hi!

1. Anyone else has experience with faulty CHT gauge/probe - from my experience even climb with Vx for few minutes doesn't bring CHT into green area...

2. How is IO-240 satisfied with LOP (lean of peak) operations? The aircraft and TCM's operation manual only suggest ROP cruise but since it's injected it might work well with LOP mixture?

3. How common is trim switch (stick-mounted) or motor failure? Since it's not dual (clutch + motor) there is significant risk of runaway trim - has anyone ever experienced it on DA20?

BR, Stone
