recommendation must be used.  This is particularly important for the breaking in 
of a new engine. For specifics see the manufacturer’s engine operating manual for 
recommendations for 

your 

engine.

RPM:

  Fixed pitch propellers have blade angles such that with full power being 

developed  by  the  engine  the  R.P.M.  is  limited  to  less  than  its  allowable  RPM.  
Controllable propellers are likewise limiting (by changing pitch of the blades) to 
keep the engine rpm under dangerous levels to prevent overstressing the rotating 
parts.

High speed descents at high power settings with a fixed pitch propeller may allow 
overspeeding of the engine, thus RPM needs to be monitored closely.

CHT:

  Cylinder head temperature is a measure of engine cooling airflow and is 

a measure of an adequately warm engine to accept full power for takeoff.  Since 
the Lancair is tightly cowled, high power settings at low airspeeds (slow climb 
speeds for example) should always be monitored for high CHT readings.  Exces-
sive CHT levels will result in damage and/or reduced engine life.  Poor cooling 
can also result from improper baffles, bird nests in the engine compartment, etc. 
and must be avoided.

EGT & Engine Monitors:

   A measure of optimum fuel/air ratio is available by 

sensing the temperature of the exhaust gases.  Operating the engine at or near its 
peak exhaust temperature means that you are operating at the near optimum fuel/air 
ratio.  Exhaust gas temperature is kept within limits indirectly by establishing the 
proper mixture for that power setting.  A direct measurement of EGT is common and 
many devices are available in this regard.  Some measure only the hottest cylinder, 
others measure all six.  Some measure both EGT and cylinder head temperature, 
monitor both continuously and have alarms.  Since an EGT is both a monitor of 
engine health, and a means of proper mixture setting it is highly recommended and 
will pay for itself in the long run by reduced fuel consumption and engine mainte-
nance as well as extended life.  An added benefit of these multiple sensor systems 
is that trouble shooting is enhanced significantly and deteriorating situations can 
be seen early and caught before mechanical damage occurs or dangerous in-flight 
situations develop.  These systems are also ideal for insuring that your new aircraft 
is properly baffled and sealed at the start.

Carbureted engines require a system to add heat to the intake air to eliminate ice 
which forms in the carburetor due to the vaporization of the fuel in the carburetor 
which lowers temperatures in the carburetor throat.  This carburetor heat valve 
ducts air, warmed by the engine exhaust system, into the intake system.  It is a vari-
able valve, i.e., it can be modulated to provide partial hot air,but should generally 
be used “full hot” initially if ice is thought to be present.  With the application of
