This is a break-in run at high power, while monitoring the oil temperature, cylinder head temperature and exhaust gas temperature. The run was terminated when the oil and CHT both got to the upper end of normal operating temperatures. Since there is no air flow, things heated up pretty quickly. Opening up the throttle gives you that feeling of unleashed fury! It's a bit un-nerving! The flashing CAUTION is because the compass isn't calibrated, yet (nothing to do with the engine). Guess I should have worn a black shirt!
