Went for a flight a couple of days ago and the oil temperature went through the roof (redline!). It also happened a couple of flights ago. It was 75F outside, so not crazy hot.
The only new thing is that I did an oil change about 5 flight hours ago using all standard Rotax parts and procedures. Oil pressure is perfectly normal for the whole flight. I did notice when viewing the video after the flight that one of the CHT measurements seems kind of wacky.
Some people on Rotax-owner.com said that the oil temperature was changing way too fast for that to be real. Agree? Thoughts? The weather has finally gotten nice here, so I want to fly!
I'd really appreciate any ideas you'd have on this. I sent this to Dean at Lockwood, but haven't heard back.
