Coolant Overheat
When I preflight my Flight Design CTLSi with the 912is ( 2018 with 130 hours total time)
I check to see the overflow bottle of coolant is at the proper level... I never read of a requirement to to check the coolant at the engine. After about 8 hours of run time ( after seeing the engine level was topped) the engine coolant would overheat after 6 minutes of ground time( ramp temp 80 deg .... sea level) not pointed into the wind ( in my TIEDOWN)
turns out there was a slow leak in on of the hoses but curiously the overflow tank always showed full.
Just curious if rotax states to check coolant level at the engine rather than the overflow bottle....
which I’ll have to do from now on..
Any Thoughts????
