Blenheim Mk IV start up ?
 
Ok I'm making a real mess of this,here's my start up procedure please tell me where I'm going wrong.

1:Turn on fuel cocks x3
2:Open radiators x2
3:Turn on carburettor heats x2
4:Switch on magnetos x4
5:Switch mixture controls to half way
6:Switch throttles up to about 15-20%
7:press shift + 1 to select engine 1,press engine start button
8:press shift + 2 to select engine 2,press engine start button

At this stage the engines fire up but die,this is doing my head in please help.:confused:Thanks

throttle too high?

try 5 - 10

the 2 wheel fuel cocks set to... inner (last option before close)

then you have to leave the engines running for around 10 - 15 minutes so that the oil temp goes up to 30 - 40 (so you may want to keep some of the "coolers" closed) before trying to taxi and take off....
if you try before, your'll notice the engines "over" rev/ struggling
if water rad hits 250oc+ your engines will begin to die!

took me a few trys :D

also watch your carburettor heats and mixture at high altittude:-)

My problem is that the plane turns heavy to right. i can't go straight on the runway... All rudder left, more throttle for right engine and the plane turns heavy to right...

Mcler002, you've done it,Eureka!the throttle setting I had was too high,both engines fired up beautifully first time.

God I really struggled with this earlier,and I only had the throttles set a wee bit too high too,thanks boys,just waiting for the engines to come up to temperature,but both sounding nice!!
