   Post on Rotax 582 cooling questions in Two Strokes

   By Climberdawg, posted 3 Aug 2022

   Hey everyone,
   I have a new (old) 582 that may be having cooling issues.  During engine warm up/testing it will rise to 195 and drop to 175 and hang there for awhile before shooting back up to 195 and pausing and drop back to 175.  During a taxi test it shot up over 200 before dropping back down to 180ish.  The day was partly sunny and temps were around 70.  Is this normal to have the fluctuation?  During a 5500 RPM static hold test it did finally maintain 175 and hold for 4 minutes.  Is the fluctuation normal?  I don't see any thermostat in the manual to replace with a different temp range.

   Hello, 
   Just picked up a pretty much untouched K3 kit #807. I'm the 4th owner. Controls are in the fuselage and that's about it. I plan on a 912, 80 or 100hp whichever I find at the right time. I'll also be going with a Grove gear setup. Planning on the widebody mod, 4 control system, increased area rudder & elevator, electric pitch trim and a glass panel. The covering will be Stewarts glues, Superflite cloth, Airtech primer and likely Aerothane topcoat. This is the same system Ran's uses and Randy's planes always look great. I may just go all waterborne too so who knows right now. Will have a few parts for sale shortly, 13g fiberglass right wing tank, 6g aluminum left wing tank and the bungee gear.
