I run GMA 10.10.10 with a couple of extra head gaskets until it is clear the engine isn’t overloading inmy flight regime. That is, plane weight, prop, fuel weather, line length, and all. Sadly, it is rocket science!  S?P

What prop? Full pattern? I found the engine tended to over heat .

I never found it possible to really overheat a 1/2A  I routinely used 70% nitro without any problems
