Short and simple - Thank you! Next question, can you explain mixture and running cold - especially in the N-17, I have a hard time keeping that one running properly, especially when descending and trying to keep the rpm down? Much appreciated!
I dont have the N-17 but the theory is that rich mixture will actually run cooler than lean mixture. For decent try leaning it out. In practice you would want to give yourself a more shallow glide angle and take longer to get down to keep the engine warm enough to function. Great question. thank you.
Much appreciated Col! Very informative. Good to see another video from you :)
My pleasure!
Thank you Colonel.
You are very welcome
WWI? The old Cessna I learned to fly in was carbureted and had mixture controls That was a 1968 172
This is so but the audience is 18-35 :) Not for fossils like us. :)

@@colninny8769 Thanks Col, I think that should help a lot (especially since I was going rich vs. lean in the decent!).
