One question though.....
The hurricane and spit have the same version of the merlin engine as far as I know. The hurricane notes refer to using RICH mixture for startup and takeoff but the spit notes just say NORMAL. Does anyone know what normal is? Is it rich?
EDIT: Another question comes to mind too....
The Spit I notes seem to be for the variable pitch prop. Do the pre-flight checks on the fixed pitch prop version involve cycling the pitch before takeoff - to check it works?
