Wizards!
Question: Could the angle of incidence in flight effect the ability of an engine to cool? I ask this because, I truly believe that I have my Bing Carb dialed in as far as EGTs, but in cruise I still have pesky CHT issues on cylinder 2,3,4 and #4 is always in the 315F range. In a sustained climb I, things head for toast quickly!
When we purchased our FWF kit from Jabiru USA early version, we figured that they had everything figured out. Obviously, in my case although we followed the install instructions to a tee, we still are playing with all things engine and cowl. In terms of the angle of incidence, my friend and I went flying the other day and he took a picture of me and I believe it looks as if that when in cruise my nose of the aircraft is up, which might account for some sort of impeded airflow into the cowl. I'm asking this question, becasue when we all obviously point the nose down in descent we get better airrflow and CHT's tend to come down.
Any thoughts on this matter.
