Dummies Guide...

[mcler002]

I was looking at the link earlier - I've been flying (or trying to) several blenheims half the day!

Hopefully they fix the handling of the aircraft on the ground but I've pretty much nailed taking off. The other problem I have is that the engine rpms 'flux' during flight (managed to get to france,twice, from gatwick - but just too much hassel) (I think this is the carb temps getting too low) - but this 'flux' is the same on the ground when trying to warm up the engines

My biggest tip would be (for the moment) to keep the aircraft flying low (under 5000ft) to keep the engines running smoothly! Idealy keep the engine temp between 210 - 235 (249 max!!!) - oil ... In all fairness I think 30 is the minimum temp, not 40 as previously mentioned! But dont let it get above 70/80 (and yes you can get it to that temp - taxin one 'step' at a time does that hehe)

Clearly information/ gauges are missing from the aircraft!

I might do the dummies guide tonight if I can find the spare time!

Gauges are fine, it just has a weird layout. Presumably it was the navigator's/bombardier's job to monitor the cylinder head temperatures when he wasn't sitting in the nose position and that's why the gauges are mounted on the top right cockpit wall.

In the Mk.V the gauges were moved to the pilot's panel, but for battle of Britain the only valid variant is the Mk.IV

Thanks a bunch....... I know so little I don't even know what I don't know!
