Yes, but think of the mixture knob as an "absolute" metering adjustment, not a
"relative" adjustment. In other words, setting the mixture doesn't set the air/fuel
ratio... basically just the maximum amount of fuel that can flow. So, to lean on the
ground with the mixture you have to pretty much pull it all the way out. As Deakin
says, if you lean on the ground, doing anything shy of almost cutting it off does no
good, and possibly harm if you forget to enrichen rull before takeoff.
