Zenoah g26 temp?
I am wondering what the operating temp is for the G26 marine engine? I am planning on installing this marine version inside an airframe and want to pump water through a radiator utilizing the pump provided with one of the RTR boats on the market.
Also, would anyone know what the preferable temperature would be of the coolant running through this cooling system? Thanks for any info.

Then run best HOT !! at near the point of blowing steam. 170/180 on cases is ideal.
Most however never run that hot and end up 130/150 or so.
Being used in a recirculated coolant application ... unless you can rig some sort of regulator/thermostat ... your dealing with a big unknown IMO

RE: Zenoah g26 temp?
So the micro oscilating pump is just "assisting" the flow of water from the back of the boat? I have no boat engine experience, so I do not know how much force it takes to floe water over the jacket heads. The Outriggers do not even use a pump do they? Just prop blast into the little tube?
Would'nt the flow increase as throttle increased? Maybe not enough I guess. This airplane is big enough I could just install a motorized pump and turn it on when I run the engine. They even make pumped radiators.
