Kira Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Anyone ever notice this? What's it for? I was messing around with trim and sliders and got messing with the throttle when I noticed that in the FW-190A4's cockpit, (actually, all 190s have it) the throttle has a detent (okay, really an offset) between 0-22% throttle and 23-100%. Any idea what this was for? My guess would be that lower range would be warmup settings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfesser Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Looks like it's designed to keep you from reducing throttle below 25. It's smooth on the way up, the stop is on the way down. Air cooled engine, possibly to keep you from shock cooling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kira Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Ahhh, shock cooling (and avoidance thereof). Of course. That makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
