Joe, since this thread is in discussion again, could you re-post the charts?

I could see them this morning, did they go away?

Hello Mark:

The page for which you give me credit is really a joint effort with Neil Stirling, however, we have also had help from knowledgeable folks such as yourself.    

Joeblogs:  The pages Mark is referring to are as follows:

F6F Performance
F4U Performance

Off topic - we’d like to do a section on USSR aircraft. Is there is anywhere here who can read/translate Russian and would like to partner with us?

Mike

p.s. Reading back on this thread I see a couple of fellows here who have helped us out or provided valuable feedback; thanks guys.

If the passages are short, I might be able to persuade a friend to help.

I can't see them, but could be on my end. Anyone else see or not see them?

That is a heck of a volume and must be absorbed in small doses. He does talk a bit about carburation problems on the R2800-10, but not in great detail.

Long time no talk.

Have you seen the test on the F4U and F6F on Mike Williams web page? Apparently they varied the carbarator impact pressure to achieve better performance results.

I have Graham Whites book but I don't see much reference to Carbarator impact pressure. Have you seen reference this elsewhere?
