Warm Up Times of Radial Engines.

[ElAurens]

Interesting.

I went on ATAG late last night my time and tried twice to get the G50 off the ground.

I let it warm up for 20 minutes and the oil temp never went above 50C and the cylinder head temp never went above 100. Tried to take off and the first time the engine just started smoking and seized up, and the second time I actully got off the ground, but did not have enough power to sustain lift and crashed just off the runway.

My G50s sure work differently than yours do.

What about mix and prop pitch?

I am at a loss here.
