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

No.

They had no clue how to set the fuel mixture (and in one case, he didn't even know you COULD adjust the mixture), but were dicking with the needles until the RayTek showed the temperature they were looking for.

I tried explaining to the first one about the difference between in-flight temps and what he was getting after landing, letting the blades spool down, etc., etc. At first I got an RCA dog look, then your basic dismissive body language since I wasn't saying what he wanted to hear.

The next two I simply watched, and was entertained... so, now that I think about it, those temp guns DO have a useful purpose when used on R/C aircraft.
