zcrazyx Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 So I decided to fly the Mustang from Beslan to Anapa in an Aerobatics free flight server I got to 25k FT and then realized my carburetor heat gauge was at negative 50oC which I knew was wrong as it is used to set fuel alight with hot air and it would be fine if i had planned ahead (of course i didn't) but i was only flying off bearing 270 and i was more then 150nm away from Beslan and Anapa so I ended up jamming my throttle at max with reduced rpm (2700) to control manifold pressure and used the height for coolant and oil temperature control and also so that should the engine cut out i would have time to look for a suitable place to land . I managed to land it in crosswind at Anapa but i didn't think i'd make it.
