But I will never give up!

Do you see ghost dots on Repka #1? Could anyone check please. We did not have any reports on it.

BTW we used to have Syndicate's mpdotrange server settings (20 or 25 iirc) but then reset it to default.

I've seen this too. The question is, "what governor?". There isn't any prop governor yet ...

Could it be the manual control unit linked to the propellors gearbox, that got faulted?

I just downloaded today and flew a few missions. Everything ran pretty smooth. Only had a couple of stutters over London. Flew the Spit and Hurricane, so far I like the Hurricane better. So far so good, and it should only get better.

So even though you had them open, there just wasn't enough time to cool the engine down when you finally took off.

wow that was exactly what i did. i stayed on the ground with the engine running while did some other stuff in the cockpit. but what is a governor anyways?

thanks guys for all your responses! i hope the new US customers can bring back a little more positive energy to this forum!

Small town called Wadsworth, about 15 minutes west of Akron. About 45 minutes South of Cleveland.

hey guys, reporting back after couple of hours of flying. Tested out the limit of the engine etc.

Here r some more questions:
1. What does propeller pitch do? I know this is probably a dumb question for some of you. I was told that it is kinda like the gear in cars. But after experimenting with it today, at highest throttle setting, if I adjust the pitch setting in 109 counter-clockwise, the revs simply go down and the engine noise goes lower too. I didn't notice any change on the airspeed. Am I missing something here?

2. What does the hand pump do?

3. This is what I do to start the engine in 109. Is the following correct？
-Fuel cock on
-Magneto 1+2
-oil radiator and radiator full open
-throttle a little bit forward
-press "I" for ignition
Am I missing any step here?

4. In Hurricane, the fuel cock has 2 stages. What are they?

Thanks fellas!
