My experience, Water max - less than 100 C - desireable - 80 CTim McClure

[asra]

I stand to be corrected but I think desireable is 65cRuss

I just got back from a lap now and mine was sitting fair on 60c, it does go up to 65cRemember -- A good friend will come and bail you out of jail...BUT a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn...that was fun!"Mark

My old 582(non blue head) and 532 normally ran at ~65.Common thought seemed to be that if you get over 80 in normal flight, land, you have a problem.Only in extreme circumstances, ie, long climbs on very hot days, etc, will it go near 80.It should always drop back when normal flight is resumed.Flying - The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
