Tatenhill,Stanstead,Southend, DVR, BNE, CTL, Troyes about 330 nautical. We
saw 138 kts GPS once or twice on the way back. 120 ish outbound. Quip' ASI
seems quite accurate in the cruise.
>>What effect will lowering the carb needle 1 notch back to the 'normal'
position
have please Graham ? Will it increase my oil temp from its current 90
degrees do you think ?<<
Might do, it will raise the EGT back to possibly unacceptable levels.
That's why it was raised.
