c;mon jab,
you should know me well enough by now that I don't write something that lengthy to be a wind up.
I keep an eye on the EGT/CHT to avoid shock cooling. i.e watching the cooling rates. if i think its cooling too quick, i'll make some adjustments to compensate.....a couple of options there, more power, less fuel, slow down. Though i rarely have a problem with it as i tend to make powered descents. turbulence probably generates the biggest problem when i am forced to run a lower power setting and slow down.
