soarrich, do you use yours onboard or just check it when you land....
On-board, but lately I've just used it on my test stand. I've found the timing to affect the temps, too far advanced and it overheats more easily. My test stand has a tach and temp gage.
I found the best place to run the sensor is wrapped around the cylinder right about where the top of the combustion chamber is with the sensor part at the back of the cylinder. It usually will run hotter in that position and little to no air flow over it depending on your baffling.
