Default RE: Just how much does and engine lean out?

After you fly for a while, you'llpick up on the sound real easy. If you richen it up, take a few laps and if its rich it'll sound sloppy vs the nice high pitch whine, Then leand real quick and andjust a couple clicks and try it again. Sometimes that is a better way to do it because the setting can change a tad after the engine warms up.

Everybod is always in toomuch of a hurry to get in the air when they show up and this can overlook problems. I get to the field, run it up and dial it in , then shut it down, refuel, and check it again. Whats an extra 5 minutes to get it right the first time and have a fun morning.
