That varies from aircraft to aircraft, depending on the details of your cylinder baffling and how the fuel is distributed. The big manufacturers would do flight testing with four cylinder CHT and EGT, and based on those results they would decide which cylinder to put single CHT and EGT for production aircraft. Note that the cylinder that hits peak EGT first can vary depending on power level. Also note that some engine problems can cause one cylinder to suddenly have a high CHT or EGT. If you only have CHT and EGT on one cylinder you may not get indications of these problems. Given that the cost of a full four cylinder EGT and CHT system is much, much less than the cost of an engine, I believe it is a false economy to go with a single cylinder system. -- Kevin Horton Ottawa, Canada ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 09:40:04 AM PST US From: Robin Marks Subject: RE: RV-List: Best Location The best location is to dump a single CHT/EGT unit in favor of monitoring all 4 CHT=92s & EGT=92s. While many aircraft for years were happy to have o ne cylinder reading with modern equipment & technology having complete engine info is definitely the way to go if you can.

Matt, I, for one, would be very happy to see you bring her up to Homecoming. We see a number of new, unpainted aircraft every year and it's always a pleasure. Besides, your plane looks pretty good naked! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
