Are there any radial engine pilots out there with insight on this? Specifically, the management of air-cooling during dives and other steep vertical descents? My airplane is still relatively new (to me), and I have concerns about the risks of shock-cooling my W670 with the nose pointed down.
To date, I've been judicious about watching CHT but I still have little "feel" for what is acceptable or risky. Additionally, carrying power through the downline isn't always a good option.
