With regard to severe leaning on the ground, does hot summertime temps make
a difference? Long taxis or long hold shorts? I made the "lean the sh!t out
of it on the ground" comment at a flying club meeting once, & one of the
guys flipped.


Leaning during high ground temperatures should not cause excessive cylinder
temperatures since you are taxiing at very low RPMS.

The C172SPs (fuel-injected engines) at my former flight school always
experienced fouled plugs if the students/renters failed to lean for ground
operations.
