Welcome Changai. Thanks for your first post here, and I can say that you are Spot On ! Following the A.P. 1565 A (Spitfire I, Merlin II or III engine) 'STARTING THE ENGINE AND WARMING' procedure, the mixture should be in Full Rich with a 1/2 inch open Throttle , not quite a blue near-perfect combustion situation. ![]() On this 'September Fury' dusk video, the blue flames panache appears only at a continuous high power regime. Note the absence of blue light reflection on the 'Fury' fuselage. and by the way, thanks for the Update. ; ) ... Last edited by Rodolphe; 12-10-2010 at 07:33 PM. |

The orange flash exhaust would be correct if it is running at idle and too rich with fuel, but at normal power would be blue. The flash is pretty good, not perfect, but good enough. 2 more comments: The engine audio needs a lot more work. Someone needs to cut the grass. Keep up the excellent work! S! |

Don't forget the cooling effect of the exhaust stacks on the spit. I don't have a video to hand but you would have much cooler unburned fuel flames with this type of exhaust than with the straight stacks on the Daimler engine. I'm actually of a mind with Oleg, that the flame needs to be "cooled down" a little.

Hello Oleg --
many thanks for the update ! Yes, I think it's too yellow. It should actualle be more white/blueish, like in the DB 605 engine video posted above. But I have to admit that I have no idea what the difference from engine type to engine type makes. |

The flashes are one reason why some 109's had the exhaust shield covering the pipes, so they would not be seen in low-light conditions, but as oleg just mentioned there are other factors at work. |
