Dave,
One thing about the Internet is that you can't see the other persons
facial expressions,etc. It is sometimes a bear to really communicate what you are
trying to get across. With that in mind I generally agree with you, Florida
sucks! (for the reasons you stated) It is ONLY this time of year that I can
tolerate it. I am totally misplaced down here. I love mountains.(grew up in
COLORADO) We have a beautiful beach here on the Gulf coast. It looks like
sugar (they filmed the beach scenes of Jaws Two here) But for 5 months of the
year it is unbearably hot,muggy,buggy,yeccchhhh!!!! And then there are
hurricanes (wiped out my first hanger)
This is the ONLY time of year that I fade from my normal envious blue
color of where most of you guys live. I bought a cabin in the Smokeys so I
would have a place to escape in the summer. But,alas,it's a 5 year wait to get
a
hanger for my airplane and there is very little flat space in the area. So,
as the man says, it is what it is.
Happy New Year!

I knew you were just having fun. I know a number of those winter
immigrants to Florida as many come from Canada. I am not awfully heat
tolerant so there's little appeal for me, but I understand it's quite
popular.
Winter here in the Maritimes is fairly short and mild, it's snowing a
little today and looks like it might stay but it's above zero. Spring
should start to show up in about 10 weeks.

Sorry, should have translated for those who thought I should be cold,
it's above zero which is 32, so say it's 35 on your temp scale here.

| Subject: | water temp guage |
We're getting near done on a KFIV-912.
But, when I planned the panel a few years ago, I included a Westach quad
gauge with CHT, and also made a hole for a separate water temp guage.
Now that I think about it, why would I need both? Doesn't CHT equal
water temp in an engine with water cooled heads?
Am I missing something?
thanks for the help,
Clem

Clem,
I was looking at the cad drawings for my first Kitfox to see how I wanted to
set up the panel for the new one, and I too had the temp gauge slotted in
there. I also used the Quad gauge and as you are suggesting, filled the
hole with something else - had an extra turn and bank.

Good design choice. You won't regret that decision.

In a word - no. I definitely would have both CHT and water temp gauges.
If it were mine I would use water temp gauge also.
> Am I missing something?
The quad CHT is important if you want to run lean of peak because you know the
temperatures in each cylinder head. However, without fuel injection you still might
not elect to run lean of peak. But if the cylinders run close in temp, you definitely
can get significant fuel savings running lean of peak in cruise.
The water temperature gauge is an essential instrument too. It will let you know
if
you're exceeding that T-stat controlled temp or that your operating temperature
is too
low. The cyl head temp reading will be much higher than the water temperature since
the sensor is generally placed against the head under a spark plug. CHT is also
effected by power setting whereas T-stat controlled water temperature should remain
constant at all power settings.

"Children should be educated and instructed in the principles of
freedom. ... If we suffer [the minds of young people] to grovel and

How is it possible that Children can have any just Sense of the
sacred Obligations of Morality or Religion if, from their earliest
Infancy, they learn their Mothers live in habitual Infidelity to
their fathers, and their fathers in as constant Infidelity to their
Mothers? ... We have no government armed with power capable of
contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion.
Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest
cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our
Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is
wholly inadequate to the government of any other. ... The only
