Default RE: BME 50 Overheating?????????

Thanks for all the advice. I just got back from the field and she flew great. I am about a 1 1/4 turns open on the low end and a little richer on the high. Full throttle straight and level sounded rock solid and vertical uplines seemed endless. After full 8-10 minute flghts the highest temp I got was 220 and the engine seemed to cool off quickly once shut down. Also, no deadsticks on inverted flight. I could hear the rpm's go up a bit once inverted, but not even close to deadsticking. Thanks again for all your tips and information it helped a new gas flier more then you know.
