Important facts and figures
Engine management
- Boosted power time limit (stock engine): 5min.
- The M-82F mod removes this time limit.
- In addition to boosted power, both engines use the boost button for extra oomph.
- The M-82Fs' limit to its power output is heat soak. Under boost, unless speeds are very high, the oil will overheat after 5 to 10 minutes. Climbing with boost can overheat the cylinder heads too.
- Shift supercharger gears at 3000m (earlier than the manual calls for).
- Inlet cowls should be open at all times. They should only be closed to protect the engine from overcooling.
- The mixture at 100% can loosely be equated to auto-rich in an american plane. Lean only to conserve fuel in cruise.
- The engine guzzles gas. With a full tank, if you are heavy on the boost, expect a flight time between 35 and 45 minutes.
- The outlet cowls are super draggy. Keep them completely closed as much as possible.
