Good input Al. I did design mine to use NPG+

Don't go there. Any engineer who understands convective heat transfer will tell you that unless the pump and coolant system are specifically designed for it, you're asking for trouble. And the rotary engine system was not. The combinations of its lower specific heat (requiring more flow for the same heat removal); and higher viscosity (causing increased pressure drop for the same flow) are just the most obvious issues.

Chris,
Are you using water/coolant, or all NPG+ ?

Just did another nose lift at about 70 kts. OAT is indicating 107 degrees on my
engine monitor. Coolant temps were around 200 when I took active after a long
taxi and waiting for a Cherokee to taxi in. Oil was lower. Coolant went to
about 210 when powered up at the numbers but started to drop slightly as I built
speed. About 205 as I left active and 215 as I got to hangar.
I don't think that is too bad considering the conditions, Really hot and humid.
I was also happy the temps started down as I gathered speed even though the run
down the runway was only several seconds. I would hope the temps will continue
down to preferred levels as I continue to increase speed. Impossible to know
while on the ground.
I know, go fly and find out... Uh, yeah, but with mid-day temps at 107 on the
ramp I think I prefer an early morning and less wind and likely much less bumpy.
