First Engine Problem

Post by twsharp12 »

Finally had an organic issue with my engine. The walk around went fine, everything looked excellent. Only mistake I made was not check the oil pressure closely enough, as it was not nearly high enough. Run up didn't present any issues audibly. After takeoff I kept my eye on the oil pressure and I tapped the gauge, with no improvement. I go ahead and request to remain in pattern in bring her back down. Once I parked, sure enough the crankshaft was "red." Everything else was just fine.

I only have 33 hours on this engine, but I'm happy to see this type of stuff in sim.

You have to love A2A aircraft, you never know what will pop up. My first experience with an A2A aircraft was an engine fire on my B-17. I was hooked on A2A aircraft ever since.

Keep smiling

Haha that sounds awesome. Still waiting on my L049 to have an engine fire.

I'm too gentle on her. Maybe I'll run one of the engines at max RPM with cowl flaps closed on a hot tarmac for a while.

Try flying inverted for a while. You'll soon mess up the engine :mrgreen:
