Guys, have ya'll ever considered using CHT gauges (one per rotor housing) in the 2-rotor > engine?  Or, is the general consensus using EGT's instead?

Thinking about how they would be plummed, it might be almost impossible to use CHT gauges > anyways.

That is a real good idea Brian. Just a thermal couple bolted to the
rotor
housing some place. 

We long ago decided that spark plug washer types would not fit the
rotary
so those are out but simple thermocouples would work great.

Get a catalog from this company http://www.omega.com/ they have plenty
of that kind 
of stuff.
