And a lucky penny.
Yes x1000fly a bunch of different stuff
Stick & Rudder Skill, and Systems Knowledge.The Luscombe 8A has unique procedures.
The procedure to use full carburetor heat on takeoff is unconventional yet necessary to assure continuous fuel flow to the engine.
Also, the vented fuel cap must be installed with the vent opening facing forward into the prevailing air stream.
It is physically possible to install the fuel cap backwards; this condition will decrease fuel flow from the tank. The cap should have lettering indicating the forward direction. If the “Forward“ lettering is missing or obscured it should be renewed. During pre-flight inspection, while the cap is removed, it is advisable to check the vent function by blowing into the vent tube.
Well that’s an unexpected quirk. I wonder why that is.Colonel wrote: Thu Jul 02, 2020 9:55 am The procedure to use full carburetor heat on takeoff is unconventional yet necessary to assure continuous fuel flow to the engine.
