Thanks Luke!

Thanks Luke

 

The I-16 has a really nice dashboard layout with all the necessary instruments and gauges easily visible and readable.

 

Makes me wish the rest of the VVS aircraft had this nice a layout.

I like dipping my head down in the cockpit to see the instruments a bit like I did on my Tigermoth flight

Thanks for the effort to create the chart Luke.

Much appreciated.

[Bando]

I'm sneakily hoping you'll do it for the MC202 as well.

Already done; just waiting for the public release!

[Bando]

Thanks a bunch Luke.

I really appreciate it.

Once released I'll print it out and start flying. It helps to get to know that cockpit fast.

I have been testing the I16 and I thought I would post my findings.  

 

I always set Prop pitch at 93%.  Then you can adjust throttle as wanted.  You are able to run full throttle for entire flight at this setting.  

 

The WEP or Boost can be used up to 10 minutes before damage will occur.  Leave prop pitch at 93%.  There is no benefit to increasing it.  You gain about 23 kph when you use boost.  

 

Oil Rads are kept open, things overheat and not much speed is gained.  So leave it open.  

 

Inlet cowls are kept at 35%.  That's a good balance.  

 

Super charger second stage is around 2 1/2 km.  That's when you notice an increase in the manifold.  

 

Oh, and always take the 20mms.  That's just my opinion.
