Default Mixture--science vs witchcraft?

Maybe flying with an instructor who knows about this critical question
would help?


Indeed!! Even--or perhaps "especially"--some ground school on the subject,
and I have been actively pursuing (not finding) just that. Know where I can
find such a CFI?!? Every instructor I've approached on the subject has one
of two answers: "if the POH says full rich, put it there," or "lean it, oh,
about *that* much...." ARGHH!!

Speaking as a big-iron guy w/ military procedures drilled deeply into his
skull from day one, I find the lack of information on this disturbing....
