I'm confused. Since red-line oil temp is at least 220 and you were 70 degrees over outside temperature and you were AT the red-line, how did you manage to get off the ground at 150 degrees outside temperature? The usual target is outside air temperature + 100 degrees. Many coupes run OAT+110 or OAT+120. If you are getting OAT + 70, you have an extremely well baffled engine that can never overheat. -- Ed Burkhead Peoria, Ill. N3802H
