Re: help a pleb like me with sparkplugs

You need to keep your revs above about 1100, 1200 at ALL times to keep the sparkplugs clean. You can try to lean the mixture to get them clean but the best option is to run at a very high power setting for a minute. Darryl Cheers Cody, beat me to it. 800 will keep the plugs cleaninsh but causes a co...

Re: Flying tips and advice available if needed

In the Mk I, the 4 lb./ sq. in. Boost gauge progresses past the "+4" proportionally up to the limit, you can therefore "eyeball" the gauge. When the Boost cutout override switch (red thumb lever) is thrown in the Mk I you will go to 12lb...it is not proportional..it actually clos...

Re: night lighting going out

My guess is that your Accumulator (battery) is not holding a charge. Also, for both Mks, get your generator on early and leave it on. It doesn't take much to drain the system...Landing Lamps are a huge drain. Try the Mk I and see if the problem is persistent. Oskar gave wonderful advice on the Elect...

They were in fact used throughout the war but after the Battle of Britain, camoflage shades came out and the yellow diamond with red outline went in favour of the cam paint.

Re: HSSSSS.....

Get airborne ASAP, and keep the radiator FULL OPEN for all ground ops, and prior to landing. Just a small point SOP is NOT to open the radiator before landing unless you REALLY need to. It messes with the low speed handling characteristics terribly and the extra airlflow is not great due to flaps a...

Re: HSSSSS.....

Jeff,

Glad you are enjoying it. She is quite hard to fly "well". Easy on the throttle settings, keep her as cool as possible and constantly monitor the temps and pressures!

You'll get thye hang of her soon enough. ...or run out of money***G***
