Just got back from the flight with the Baron, with the OAT on the ground
being around 15 degrees. Playing with the mixture enroute I could never get
the CHT's over around 325 on any cylinder. (I left the winter baffles off to
see if there were any differences in CHT and performance).

The oil temp did not go over 150 on either engine, which is a little low.

After sitting outside at 15 degrees with a 5-10k wind, the oil temps were
still at 50 degrees after three hours with the cowl plugs in place. Although
I have Tanis heaters, there were no outlets anywhere near the tiedown, so
plugging it in was out of the question. Both started within a few blades, as
normal.

Anyway, I taxied with the cowl flaps closed to try to warm the oil, but took
off with them open. CHT's never went above 325 on any cylinder. Probably
could have left them closed.

Can't wait for warm weather, then will probably post about dodging
thunderstorms.
