 |
|
You guys with Rotax 503 dual carbs. What is the proper way to warm up the engine before full power for take off? What CHT's should I be looking for before I apply full power? If I remember correctly my take off RPM was 6200.
thanks

I start the engine before I climb in. By the time I have my headset situated, the altimeter set, the GPS turned on, and the squelch adjusted, the temp gauge is beginning to register. By the time I taxi to the run up area it is good to go. I look for 150deg before the mag check and that always gets me close to 200 before takeoff power is applied. I glance at the gauge, but almost never have to wait for it.
In normal conditions just getting to the runway will get things well warmed up. If you have been ice fishing and then jump in, start up and hammer the throttle, you will have a problem.
If you are traveling with faster liquid cooled Kolbs, you can even the playing field a bit by starting your leg a good 5min sooner while they are waiting for their temps to come up.
