Yes, the 1830s would be struggling to drag all those additions through the air.
Speaking of which, how do you start the 1830?
After all these years of operation, it seems the start mixture control sequence of the DC3 is a bone of contention.
The traditional technique is after 9 blades, start using prime and then when engine is firing, to move the Mixture lever to Auto Rich.
However, the modern procedure is after 9 blades, to move the Mixture lever to Auto Rich and prime is not usually required.
Does anyone have any thoughts on which is the better method?
