Here's kind of a hokey ploy to safeguard your engine on  your first flight- get a 5 gallon jerry can and fill it with water(ice water?). Rig up a system with a windsheild washer pump to spray water through your radiator, should you redline on your temps.  If you overtemp, throw the switch on. It might buy you  bit more time and allow you to get back to land without overheating your engine.

That is a really good idea Brian. I like it. Will work great.
You don't even need ice water. It is what Tracy uses when he needs to
taxi around at air shows.
