Important: Clod Raf Mixture Setting


Recommended Posts

Please note chaps that your mixture needs to be at 0% - this is, perhaps counter intuitively, your full rich setting. See extract from the Team Fusion Spitfire Mk.Ia 100 Octane (but applies to all the Merlin engined a/c) flight manual below: 

 

CARBURETOR MIXTURE

The engine is equipped with a carburettor which allows the pilot to select either 'Rich' or 'Lean' mixtures. 'Rich' mixture is used in all normal situations, takeoff, landing, climb, combat. 'Lean' mixture is only used to conserve fuel in level flight Cruise settings, and only when boost is set to '+1' or lower, and rpms to 2600 or lower. Use of 'Lean' mixture setting at higher rpms or boost will result in the destruction of the engine.
