Dr1 throttle question

[tmetal]

Thanks for the info guys, I didn't know they had a selector switch for turning off a number of the cylinders on the motor.

I go there quite often in the summer time. Didn't realize the replica sopwith and replica Dr.1 used real rotaries.

Also - I want to fly there this summer. Can I park the plane on that little grass area on the left (as you are coming out of the main hanger onto the ramp?) Or do I have to hitch a ride over from the Rockland FBO?

You can park right on the grass there if there is no show going on. If there is a show you have to park at the FBO and you can call the Museum and we will send someone over to pick you up. Yeah the Sopwith has a real 1917 Le Rhone Rotary. The DR1 has a werner radial engine same weight and hp as the oberusal the dr1 originally had. The Gnome we just run on a test stand.

I just tested the Dr1's throttle settings in the WW1 arena, it does in fact jump to each throttle position.

I don't know how I've never noticed that

Perception is normally like that, we see what we expect to see. I believe it's mostly a useful efficiency.
