Default RE: How HOT?

Hey guys, I used a temp gun while testing my g2300. I used it for information purposes only, not for setting the needles. It was interesting to learn that the temp went down with a bigger prop, and down again with higher nitro. Does that mean I run the bigger prop? No. I select my prop size based on performance. I do run the higher nitro, also due to increased performance, but now i know that the higher nitro isn't making the engine hotter.

By the way. I already had the temp gun. I use it on horses feet to see if they are eating too much grass or not. Too much grass, and their feet get hot, and pretty soon you'll be calling the vet. This is really important on older horses, especially in the spring.

You learn something new every day!!!!
