Yep. And fly it; it will be fine. I use 300 for an absolute max myself, though 350 probably wouldn't hurt the engine. As mentioned, 200 to 250 is a nice place to be. Put the sensing part on the rear of the cylinder up near the head. You can hold it in place with a piece of silicon tubing. (Not Tygon or other gas tubing.)
