That's great news Emory, but I can't take credit for the knowledge. I read it right here or somewhere pattern related last year. As I recall, it was one of Chad's posts on experiments he was running. In any event, glad you're not chasing the heat gremlin. Those air molecules rushing around can be tough to see when you're trying to change their direction!

Hey Verne,
You are right! I was finally able to fly the plane yesterday. I noticed that after some short 3 minute flights (breaking in the batteries), the motor barely felt warm. However, when the motor was just run on the ground for the same period of time, it got hot (in the 130 range). I wasn't able to measure the after flight temp since my temp gun battery died.
Thanks,
Emory.
