Hi dirtybird,
I think you emailed us today also, so sorry if this is a duplicate. The temp should read correctly at all temperatures, including room temp. Make sure you have the temp sensor plugged into the right slot. If this doesn't clear it up, let me know and we'll make sure we get to the bottom of it.
All, one other option for engine temp, which is a bit over the top, but definitely gives complete information, is our EGT expander that plugs into the recorder. It is basically a dual input thermocouple reader, and it lets you simultaneously measure exhaust temp up to 2000F, and you can use another thermocouple lead with a copper ring to fit under your plug. With this setup, you can meausure plug temp, cylinder temp, and exhaust temp simultaneously. Some people swear by EGT as the response is more rapid to tuning changes, and the measurement is more precise since the temp does not vary as much with location, etc.
Regards,
Yes I emailed you.
I have not managed to get a reasonable reading with the temperature. The other parameters seem to be working OK. I have not been able to fly it yet due to other problems. I ran the engine on the ground and got correct RPM readings and when you blow on the pitot tube the airspeed indicator indicates. The altitude reading seems to drift around a bit.
I don't understand why my email does not get to you. Or why you are not getting back to me.
