    JR DMSS Temp Sensor

    The brand of the engine has nothing to do with how well we cool them in flight. I purposefully did not mention brands. The more power an engine makes the more heat you have to deal with. I have six different brands of engines, 80 to 170cc. They all like to be treated to proper baffling and...

    JR DMSS Temp Sensor

    In this picture you can see the under the spark plug sensor and the hole (in the red circle) for the JR DMSS sensor. What I found was the temp at the spark plug is about 50 degrees hotter than the one in the red circle at 300 F. It seems 350 F is about normal and the engine runs great. I got a...

    JR DMSS Temp Sensor

    Me and another guy have been using these for a couple of years now to make sure we get the baffling right in our planes. I was very surprised to see the real temps these things normally run at. I have compared them to many different sensors. These are the most consistent. I have ran it along...

    Temp Logging

    I posted that link and a picture of my setup in another thread. I have been using these for a while with good results. I think a lot of people think these engines run cooler than they actually do. I have also used the Venom temp monitors and they work good too, but they can be mounted so many...

    Carbon Build Up

    I had to grind off a very small piece of the center fin for clearance. It shouldn't affect anything. I will try to attach a photo. 15133=8712-Photo1366.jpg

    Carbon Build Up

    I have been using these for monitoring temps. Jody if you read this I would like your opinion on it. It seems to work as well or better than the Venom monitors and is not to pricey. http://www.trailtech.net/digital-gauges/tto/temperature/722-et1
