Default Engine mixture guidelines

Lean the mixture until it peaks and then enrichen it
(turn it back in) until it drops 50°C.


Not necessary the best advice.

Remember FULL rich for takeoffs and landings unless your flying at
Leadville, CO or some other really high altitude airport.


That is actually VERY BAD and DANGEROUS advice! You will need to lean
for take-off at density altitudes of 3000 feet or above for max power.
Actual airport elevation is irrelevant in this discussion, density
altitude is all that matters.
