Hi guys, i have spent quite a while in the blenheim today and managed to get 13000ft out of it before getting bored. Above about 9000ft though engine management is a nightmare as the engines misfire between 55 and 65% power. running more power they overheat, less power you cant fly. my solution was pitch 0% and power to max above 11000ft. seems to work ok but you dont have much power to play with. also oil temp drops to about 20 which is rubbish. I have no idea why they missfire at mid power. Mixture dose nothing at all. (mix could be stuck full rich, this would explain the misfire)
Also the boost cut out seems to work fine, to get it to kick in however you must throttle back to 80% or so, select it, and then back to full power. it should show as 110% if you have the info window up.
Having also had a play with the BR20 today (the CEM in the BR20 works a treat btw) and i think its possible that the radiator areas are misassigned for the blenheim. That is on the blenheim you cant get the oil to 80-90'c because it could have been assigned the larger cooling area of the engine. The engines on the other hand always run hot because they have been assigned the small cooling area of the oil cooler. I could be wrong, but it would explain alot!
