On my 2.2 Jab, on the ground the two rear cylinders (cht) are the hottest, this changes over during flight, not by much but it does change.

Phil,
Can you post a Spruce link? I am not finding it.

There's a few on this page Bryan. Depends how much you want to spend or which type suits the panel I guess.

Thanks Phil! I did some looking at lunchtime today. I may try a couple of these, one for CHT and one for EGT.

Because the switch is not chromel-alumel, there will be a voltage when it switches materials, but then it will switch back and should generate the opposite voltage assuming a constant temperature at the switch.
