My forte is radios not engines so I'll pose the following questions to my favorite motor heads
1. Where's the best place to attach the thermocouple sensors on each cylinder.
2. I can configure telemetry based alerts, so at what temperature should I set the warning alarms at to prevent engine damage, yet not get constant screaming while flying in the Florida heat.
Thanks in advance!
I will only answer question #1,.. for sure put the sensors on the back of the engine because on the front they will get more cool air,, and,, I would put it on the back of the head about even with top of the compression chamber, it seams to me that will be hotter than the front and far enough away from the Exhaust port to get a more correct reading.
just my thoughts on, I'm not an expert on that stuff, so I may be wrong, and I didn't sleep at a Best Western last night.
