That's a good idea up to say 5,000 feet. After that you're just too rich IMHO. In fact, when I had the Debonair I couldn't get over 8,000 at full rich. The Cont engine just didn't put out power above that altitude with the mix rich. And in case it isn't obvious to some, you are referring to a normally aspirated engine. I fly a turbo-normalized V35 with a Continental IO-520 engine. Not only do I have to keep the mixture full rich on climb out, I then have to engage the low fuel pump setting from 5k to 10k, followed by the high fuel pump setting from 10k on up (assuming the cruise altitude is in the teens up to the very low twenties). If this is not done properly, the cylinders and turbo inlet temperature really start to really heat up. -- Peter ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |
