Hi YxngHxze, Glad to hear my videos are still helping :-) congratulation on your 30 hours and good luck as you continue your training! By the way, if you fly with X Plane 11 and are interested, X-Hanger has given me the rights to their Cessna 172N for X Plane 11, the airplane I use in most of my videos, and they have allowed me to give it away to anyone who would like to use it for following along in my videos. You can learn how to download it by watching the video in the link below: ua-cam.com/video/mmOxFBkgEBE/v-deo.html Blessings, skip
Skip, there is an article "Red Box, Red Fin" by Mike Busch on savvyaviation. He suggests to ROP at climb and quick LOP at cruise, in order to reduce CHT. Would be nice to hear your comments on the article.
Hi Alexander, This is way over my head! I understand the principle of ROP and LOP but really don't have any experience or knowledge to go into a detailed discussion other than what little information I gave in the video. I'm just a very old man with 60 hours in the Cessna trying to learn like everyone else, I pass on what little I know for the Sim world, :-) Blessings, skip

Thanks for the link, I actually do use X Plane sometimes, unfortunately there's not Sonaca S201 model yet, that's the one I need to study for, but many things are similar on the Cessna I guess.

Imagine making a instructional video for properly setting the mixture on an engine all while still not knowing stoichoiometric ratio or while understanding its relation combustion chamber pressure/cylinder head temperatures
Hi Trevor, Sounds like you don't approve of this video, I'm sorry. I realize this is a very simple explanation and lacks a lot. However, this videos, as with all my videos, are for simulator pilots so they can have some idea of how to use controls and enjoy flying on the computer in a somewhat realistic manner. I don't understand all the science involved in this subject and for the simulator pilot they don't need to know either, just need to know how to make the adjustment and have some fun with their simulator.

Well, when u have an engine built for leaded gas and you throw unleaded in it its going to have issues. That lead helped the valve seats so they were built weaker, so obviosly youll start to have issues when using unleaded. Fauling could just be the carbs running rich, you have student's flying them that may not be always correct with the mixture adjustment
Hi izaiahschlosser4512, Right you are but it's been over 20+ years since leaded gas has been available so there probably are not too many engines running today that have not been rebuilt or replaced for using unleaded fuel. Not only do you have students not using the mixture controls correctly some seasoned pilots struggle getting the mixture correct, it's easy to forget about the mixture control when the flight conditions are really challenging, all this effects engine life. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching :-) Blessings, skip
Skip, finally got my sim up and running. Rewatching your videos. There is a ton of info to glean from each one! A question, do you put things like preflight form on notepad?

Hi Dennis, Glad to hear there's "stuff" you like :-) and welcome back!! I use two panel builder programs, "Panel Builder" from SimPlugins and "Air Manager from Sim Innovations to make it easier for viewers to see what I'm talking about.

Hi Jesus, Yes, in the Cessna 172N you can rotate the knob for small adjustments, clockwise for enriching mixture, counterclockwise for leaning mixture. Thanks for watching hope this helps. Blessing, skip
turns out i was doing it right all this time by just guessing that i should be getting the rpm as high as possible, although i was flying lean of peak not rich of peak
Hi 1947662, Your right rich is necessary in certain modes but if you ignore this the engine will suffer for it. Thanks for you input :-) Blessings, 'skip

Do we only adjuest mixture at cruising level? how about at take off/ landing or climbing and descend do I just keep it full rich?
