Default Engine mixture guidelines

That is too much anyway, 50 C is 90 F, really 25 C is more
than enough.

| Not necessary the best advice.

flying at

airport.

| That is actually VERY BAD and DANGEROUS advice! You will
need to lean

for max power.
| Actual airport elevation is irrelevant in this discussion,
density
