Default RE: engine cuts on landing approach...


ORIGINAL: Switch_639

no way!... cubs are the most boring planes in the world, that is if gliders are not considered as planes... no offense if you oaks have some... its a great planes revolver... I have tested the plane nose up nose down... its just either an idling issue or lsn too rich... I think its the LSN, cause my idle is pretty high... I will check it out this weekend...
SOUNDS likes you have a part time glider there BUD[>:] I fly both.
Set your high speed NV first then adjust the LOW end with the engine OFF a tiny little bit (I DO MEAN TINY ,a width of the screw slot is enough) , to the lean or clockwise. Restart and retest. This procedure may need to be repeated a few times before is spot on. ERROR ON THE RICJH SIDE, AND as new engines break in tweaking may be needed. FOR SAFETY REASONS NEVER ATEMPT TO ADJUST LOW END ON A RUNNING ENGINE. If you get way off return to start settings. Once you learn to do this PITA adjustment you will allways have better running engines.
