You are a reckless risk-taker, gerry111.

Did you notice, from the readings on the engine monitor during the lean test we carried out, that the CHT for each cylinder was cooler at peak EGT than it was at 25 degrees C ROP, and that the CHT for each cylinder was even cooler at 25 degrees C LOP than it was at peak EGT and 25 degrees C ROP?

But apparently clys that have a CHT of 175 degrees C at an EGT 25 degrees C LOP are at risk of cooking, but the same clys at a CHT of 205 degrees C at an EGT 25 degrees C ROP are safe and fine. Apparently hotter clys are at less risk of cooking than cooler ones, provided they know they're not on the side of peak EGT that dare not speak its name. Go figure...

And did you notice how the wings fell off when we did the magneto check at 8,500'? You might have thought that all that happened was an increase in EGT for each cly, but those are just lies told by the random number generators in the engine monitor.

I don't know how we've managed to survive for tens of thousands of nautical miles in a death trap being flown by an unqualified test pilot.
