Chimbu,

Excellent, excellent posts! Just have a question for you though. You say that you leave the mixture control in the leaned position from the cruise as you descend. As you descend the air gets more dense and so wouldn't that require a more rich mixture? So if you leave it in the leaned position shouldn't the engine cut out?
