Hello my fellow flight enthusiasts,
Every once in a while a video comes along that must be shared. I think this is informative, well spoken and to the point.
Im sure most of you know why im posting this here. Just in case ill point out that the R-2800 in the Jug shares a lot in common w the Corsair’s engine. Only the lack of Turbocharging in the Corsair is the difference. Since you only use Turbo on the Jug at high alt, this video will be a great introduction to managing the P&W engine. Enjoy!
I recently started flying the P-47 again and this video will help me out tremendously. I’m curious as to when each of the oil, intercooler and cowl flaps are used. I read over Chuck’s great guide as well, so this will go along with that.
Thanks!
Im happy this helped. It was too good to keep to myself. Open cowl flaps for the Cylinder head temp. Keep them below 260C. Open the intercooler doors for the Carb air temp. Keep it below 50 and dont let it freeze up high. The one i play w the most is the oil cooler. Oil temp is at top of the triple gauge. Second most fiddleing is w the Cowl Flaps… Down low you can leave the intercooler in neutral but up high or above military power keep checking it.

Whistling Death always held a special place in my heart. I had a die-cast model and remember watching Baa Baa Back Sheep as a kid. I also enjoyed it in Aces of the Pacific and will admit that I have secretly been hoping that 1C releases a Pacific theater and features it.
