Sam,
Since you have the capability to monitor all 8 in flight, which cylinders do you
see running hotter than the others? The top three are always hottest on the
ground when I check them with a laser temp gun after shut down.

Yes, in my CJ and M-14P and a 3 blade Whirlwind prop.
This instrument saved me some big $$ a couple years ago when I noticed an unusual
EGT rise on Cyl. #8, with light vibrations starting immediately (while in cruise).
Seeing the problem saved a lot of time in searching for the problem cylinder.
Upon landing (away from home base) I proceeded directly to examine Cyl. # 8 and
shortly thereafter found the culprit -- The front Spark plug was dead and left
no living will...:). I could only imagine how much time and $$ I would have
to spend trying to find the problem going over the entire engine 200 miles from
base.
I also use the CHT levles regularly in controlling CHT temps in climb and cruise
etc - with louvers wide open, my M-14 runs too cold so I typically close as
needed to maintain at least 160 Degrees.

Hi Guys,
As soon as I heard about the exemption on our annual proficiency flight
area limitation letter I wrote the required request for exemption and
had all of the required documents in my hot little hand at the door of
my friendly local FSDO manager. He hadn't even heard of the Sept. 11
memorandum yet, so I gave him a copy. Four days later I had my
exemption in the mail. All I can say is that nothing beats a personal
face-to-face with your local FSDO when the opportunity presents itself.
It cleared up any potential misunderstandings or delays in processing
and was a good opportunity to put a face and name with the "N" number if
it ever came across his desk. I now have my letter of exemption (just
four days later). It lent new and more positive meaning to "We're from
the FAA and we're here to help you". Then again, maybe I just got
lucky, but no guts, no glory. You probably already know this, but for
those of us who don't, the current memorandum exemption of the 300 and
600 mile proficiency flight area annual letter only applies to
PROFICIENCY flights. We still have to list airshows and formal
aerobatic competitions that we intend to be a part of. At least that
was the FSDO Manager's take on it. Hopefully, this will also be
excluded at a later date as part of the 8130.2 updated version. For
now, that part still stands. Right now I'm just having a blast
attempting to learn why Ranger keeps bobbing around while he's trying to
teach me the basics of formation flying (I strongly suspect it's me
doing the bobbing and not him).

Valkyrie 1,
I sincerely expect Ranger is doing that on purpose. As a typical Navy type,
he is intimated by the female of our species and is trying to 'discourage'
you. While us more enlightened civil type pilots wouldn't do anything like.
But! it is just possible - maybe he can't fly straight.
