Hello Stef,
As a long retired KR2er ,I recall my first flight.
Engine cooling on the ground runs was fine-run for 1/2 hour-no probs. So I
take it on first flight.  - notice in the climb the temps start to rise.
Level out at top of climb and temps return to normal. Decide to go to my
home field
 which has a longer strip.
Overhead ,I reduce speed-flaps down and join downwind . Temps start to rise
again....Join base leg and the Revmaster quits.
I have to dive to get over inconvenient trees. Flop her in and broke prop.
To rectify cooling probs :
1. Change oil to recommended Revmaster grade.
2.Fit an adjustable cooling exhaust flap.
3 Enlarge inlets.
Don't know which of these were relevant -but never had any more problems.
But don't rely on ground run cooling figures!
Good luck,
Mac ex G-BVZJ
