Default RE: Help with tuning new M-46 engine

At that moment your mixture was ideal

In cooler weather the engines seem more sensitive to the air aloft when flying.

The Alcohol/Nitro air-fuel ratios are much richer than gasoline and therefore the temperature difference changes the mixture requirements considerably.

I always have to make them a little richer from the peak point in the winter than in the summer

Some people adjust their mixture with the nose high
