That does not make sense. When flying slow , the engine does not generate much heat, the cowl flaps on a Coupe are wide open all the time and I doubt a extreme nose high attitude is given at speeds at around 85 MPH.... I find my Coupe extreme nose high with 45 MPH, but would not consider this a practical low speed flying technique. All other Speeds should allow for sufficient cooling in regard to the power setting.
