This is a fantastic presentation! I have a background in engines from tinkering with cars and motorcycles. Most of the things you hear people get wrong, these guys got absolutely right. Normally you have to seek out the technical writings of a race-engine tuner to find some of the nuggets that were hit upon in this.

One of the best videos I’ve seen yet about leaning and engine operations. Good job !

[@AZVIDS]

Excellent presentation!

[@JavierRamirez-xy9nb]

You are the best guys! Please keep up the good content

Absolutely useful! Thank You!! Great Channel, keep it up.

Thanks

Very good tutorial. Great presentation. Good visual aids. Thank you

Barometric pressure has an effect on this as well. That is the air pressure around you. The higher the better for HP.

[@jherrod561]

This is so helpful and your explanation is brilliant. You took a lot of time to do this and I thank you.

[@seyhajohnsandham759]

Always great stuffs.

What are x and y axis on graph?

[@juanmartinlopez7979]

Exelent explanation. Just one question. You've showed how to lean by RPM (ex.old 172), but what about when you have constant speed propeller, and you've got tacometer and manifold pressure gauges (like my old 182). ??

Great explanations and graphics. I have a question though. Does altitude density have anything to do with leaning?

[@Maverick-xn7qw]

That’s beautiful intro! Where is that airport though?

[@connorknudsen5602]

Hi there hope this question can still get answered but just wondering about high density altitude takeoff and the mixture required for best power? Kind regards

[@bartoszskowronski]

why don't use water injection to cool the engine. operating at peak EGT and if is too hot then inject water. mass of water no problem because you need less water vs fuel for cooling effect
