KW50, Application of

[aus3620]

Is the intent of the KW50 to have it running all the time when in a dogfight or do you use it in bursts, eg when climbing, then disengage?

[JST]

I always keep the MW50 injection active in flight, since I'm fairly certain it only works on full throttle (Atleast the boost pressure gauge only reacts at full throttle, the manual doesn't clear this out either.) but don't take my word for it.

 

Either way, it doesn't have any negative impact on engine reliability.

 

Personally, I use full throttle only to catch up or get away, most of the flight is at 1.3 - 1.4 ata

JST is correct.

 

MW50 is injected only with full power setting (3250 rpm), if MW50 switches are on.

 

Use it to get away or a power climb. You can use it at least 10 min, but watch your water and oil temperatures!
