From my understanding the early Merlin engines had 43 degrees of valve overlap. This the period of the rotation of the camshaft at the end of the exhaust stroke and at the beginning of the induction stroke when both the inlet and outlet valves of the combustion chamber are open. It allows the cylnder to fill as completely full of fuel air mix as possible before the combustion cycle continues.
This allows the engine to produce more power at high RPM. Unfortunately the flip side of the equation is that she idles like a dog and run rough at low speeds. Later Merlins like the 70 series, had overlaps increased to about 70 degrees. They will really run rough at low revs. Last edited by Skoshi Tiger; 05-09-2012 at 11:25 AM. |

I experienced a bug in the 109 (other planes not tested yet)
If I want to land my plane, lowering my gears and lowering my flaps I cant change my throttle anymore. The current set throttle position stays hard as a rock till I pull the flaps back in. This is one pretty deadly bug! But maybe this is ja specific G940 problem? ![]() EDIT: Sorry I had antropomorphic controls switched on which would explain why I cant change throttle due to the large amount of time lowering the flaps in a 109 need! Bug is most commonly a feature Last edited by III/JG53_Don; 05-10-2012 at 09:51 AM. |

Anthropomorphic controls.
