While I have done ground runs over the past two months of non flying I have not cycled the prop since the last flight in early December. It's been insanely cold here in VA with single digit nights. Yesterday I went to fly as we're warming up (35F OAT) and did get about an hour of preheat. At runup I was at least 135F on the oil temp but oddly the prop would not cycle until about 5 attempts.
Curious how other cold weather flyers handle this, what they see, etc. Any concerns?
No issues in flight and did fly the flight at 24 squared to keep temps up.
