In the lastest issue of Flyer, there's an article on the ab-initio training done at JEFTS which also happens to be done on Fireflys.
One thing caught my eye: it's normal practice to simply set the prop to 2,600 rpm and the mixture to fully rich. The author of the article raised his eyebrows at this, mostly on the grounds of cost.
I just wondered whether such a practice would have any pitfalls when used in an 'hot 'n' high' scenario? Any ideas?
(I'm not suggesting that the Cousins use the same procedure, by the way).
