Damon Banks is an unknown quantity at this point
Another technique on the (rear) engine-overheating-on-the-ground-waiting-for-a-clearance thing...

#1 Whenever possible park facing into the breeze! This alone will almost guarantee the temps will behave.

#2 If there's not much breeze, run the front engine at 1500RPM or so, with the rear at low idle. The front benefits from flow generated by the propeller (although it will heat up somewhat), and the rear gets a breeze too!

Regards,
Damon
