All well and good
except
the method and timing of the measuring process can totally distort actual temperature readings
We all know that .
Assume :
The typical model, flown idled down and promptly landed
Asume one now takes the same measuring device and holds in the same position and reads at same point .
(This question for Pe-as he knows which point and distance he is measuring ).
Personally I have a devil of a time determining what figures to suggest as proper.
I don't have telemetry-- and on ground, constant full throttle running simply runs heat way above typical in air temps.
So --- the temps noted above----
are they from a thoroughly heat soaked engine -- or when?
