............The Hurricane MkII pilots notes state that the MAIN tanks should be used and the priming pump operated as rapidly and vigorously as possible and gives the number of strokes it should start after so I assume the pilot is using the primer as a manual fuel injector. It also says priming may be needed in cold conditions after starting until fuel is delivered to the carburettor. |
No bounces from me old chap, just settled her down nicely on the runway. Another TP'er who shall remain nameless to hide his shame (Bunny) tried to land somewhere on the Isle of Wight at about 500 knots. He did manage to land safely and then was promptly asked by a lady nearby, "are you a real pilot?" which had the rest of the TP contingent in stitches.
Thanks for the information about the Hurri Mk.II, it clears up a lot of things. Still the Hurri Mk.I in game needs to lose the ability to start up on main tanks.
