LaGG; 7.5k; Mixture - need confirmation

[Yakdriver]

sometime you will have to - unless you are being provided with /gifted/sold more axis rides.
just did an intercept at 6000 (now that XP is working again) and applied the lessons learned.
good feeling.

Interesting read, I always dropped my mix before 4000m thinking like ROF you find the sweet spot and go faster, I never did see much of a rpm change... a little on high blower. So you can run around at 100 mix most of the time under 4000m. Soon as I get back home the end of the week I'm going to have to give my mule a few test runs.

 I think many RL pilots here could confirm that if you pulled mixture all way to lean the engine would do more than lose just a couple hundred RPM

Well before 4000m I would drop it to say 85 to 80%. I guess a lot with the laGG depends on where your throttle is when it comes to mix below 4k. If I read it right..I may have to go read it again..its late so i'm not that with it right now!

in the early days, i could get the Klimov to really Rumble at around 300 RPM, idle, and the mixture wayyyyy low.

 

 

 

whats really fun is to get the engine rolling and play with the mixture to see how low you can keep the RPMs. I find 300RPMs about the lowest point on the Klimov.

at that point she shakes a lot and makes a blubb blubb sound like a Harley.

Or let the engine die, and at the last fraction of a second put the mixture up again to bring it back to life.

 

With BoS, the fun starts right there under the Camo netting.
