Speedbird 48. Er..Yes...thanks.
These RAF Notes I have say only the front knob of front switches is selected on (contact position). It also states that if engine is cold you suck in. How does one define cold in this case? For example does it mean first start of the day? Or after the engine has been shut down for an hour?

Pulse one. According to my RAF Tiger Notes, one turns the airscrew backwards until the cylinders are clear of rich mixture. And that's what had me tossed because in most lighties that I have flown you turn the prop over in normal direction of travel With throttle wide, in order to clear excess fuel. Why backwards in a Tiger to do the same thing?

Lost Luggage_34. If your man doesn't suffer fools gladly I might be in real trouble. Thanks for the tip, anyway.
