Be careful of your info. That may appear true in cooler areas, but in TExas <BR>
the WEbras can't be idled long on the ground or they will over heat and die. <BR>
Then it takes a long time for them to cool enough to run them. It is common <BR>
for owners to keep the engine at mid throttle while walking it out to the <BR>
runway just to keep it cool before takeoff. THis is not necesarily a major <BR>
problem as long as you deal with it. <BR>

maybe my Webra doesn't know it's a webra then. Mine will idle as long as I want in sunny FLA in the summer heat. And have flown it in "cold" weather also (45 deg) and it does fine; I change nothing to the cooling set-up of the engine. <BR>

It's not north TX for sure but is close to south TX</FONT></HTML>
