Default RE: Mini Temperature Guns! The "Hottest" Thing

I have one and use it quite often during the season. Mainly, I use it to check the cylinder head temps to see if I need any cooling baffles when flying a new airplane. After that, I use it once in a while just to see that everything is still good. On the gas twin cylinders, a range of around 200F-225F is acceptable. I also use it on turbines to check heat ranges around various points on the fuselage, exhaust, etc.
