RE: Self taught flying - My diary / progress
Hi,
Its an air bleed screw so like you say you turn it in to richen it and out to lean it. Its fairly primitive to be honest and being a Magnum engine its not the best. I'm going to try the pinch test.
High speed works okay but seems to rattle loose so I've stuck a cable tie around the two prongs that hold it steady. Hopefully this will address any mid air full throttle mixture changes.
As for low speed I need to tweak it a little more and see how it goes.
I'll run another test for overheating later and see how it runs. Hopefully I can get a full tank through it. I'm going to try and simulate a flight on ground by using different throttle ranges and then the low throttle for a few minutes prior to landing. Hopefully I can get a full tank through without problem.
Worst case I'm also going to try and get my Irvine 40 running too so I have options.
