techman Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 Taxied to end of runway, did run up, all looked nominal. Went to taxi onto runway and heard a strange guttural sound followed by dynon warning of high cht. Immediately turned off engine, popped cowl (on a private grass strip) and could hear what sounded lie water trickling through thermostat. Overflow looked under pressure. Waited a few minutes and started engine and taxied back to hanger all seemed ok. No issues since. Should I replace the thermostat at next oil change? Anybody else seen this? Plane is 2011 CTLS. My experience with thermostats at least with cars is this rarely happens once. i now do run up at hanger in case issue. Thx.
techman Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Posted January 27, 2013 I did taxi and did several test that Doug Duncan recommended. All checked out fine. i have done several short and one 3 hour flight since with no issues. Temps in low 30s that day had plugged in preheated but as I Sid all looked good. No tape on radiator yet.
