Mixture control
Can anyone tell me why most, if not all, the Bell 47 in Australia have their mixture control lever sawn off in the cockpit.
ie. so that you cannot adjust mixture
Surely a Lyc435 tuned at sea-level is going to splutter quite a bit trying to operate out of a strip at 5000'. Leaning a bit would surely help regain the lost performance wouldnt it? So why are they disabled?
