I'm New Here
Dear fellows pilots of RV-12,
I live in Brazil, in a city where winter lasts only for a few days, and temperatures rarely go under 50?F. So, most the times I take off in OAT around 80?F. Climbing to flight level the pointer of the oil temperature instrument goes into the yellow line. All other intruments (CHT, oil pressure, coolant temperature) are normal.Then I climb in steps, and as soon as I reach my desired FL, the pointer goes back to the green line and there it remains during all the flight. Some friends of mine here, flying other models of SLA equipped with Rotax 912, told me that they share this same "problem".
Could any of you tell me if is this your experience? Any solution, if necessary?
Thanks a lot!!
