Most light Rotax aircraft in the US use 50/50 coolant and only have the standard CHT. I know Rotax would like to see a separate coolant temp, but I don't think it happens that often. I have only ever seen two.

Roger, just an update...

Two flights since switching from waterless to 50/50. CHT runs much cooler; mid-230s ºF during climb on mild day; mid-240s ºF during climb on very hot (104 ºF) day in Sacramento Valley.

Thanks much,
Frank
