On the other side the engine's cut on negative g is not a problem and doesn't cause problems.
Now I can manage the full CEM on the Spit and the Hurry because in combat the altitudes vary continually and mostly you finish your fighting at sea level. But if you try to return to base at high altitudes, the engine fails...  |
Two position mixture doesn't sound right. 2 position pitch, maybe.
+6 Boost? I'd say that's too high. Try climbing at 2650 revs and +4 boost. Trim to maintain optimum climbing speed. I'm at work now so trying to do this from memory but will see what I did to get up to 20000ft. This is in the Spit, not sure about the Hurri but will try it out.
