B-25C Bug... RPM and Manifold Pressure Gauges
« on: May 14, 2013, 08:27:40 AM »
The RPM and manifold gauges in the B-25C appear to be switched, with the Manifold pressure showing RPM and the RPM indicator nonfunctional. :headscratch:

.. hee hee... yes they do NOW work correctly. WHen the post was written the Manifold pressure would not go above 26" (which coincidently is the Max RPM) and the RPM never changed, :huh no matter the throttle setting.... I can read a gauge...

Yep I had this aswel but on a different AC. Mossie I think (at work cannot check my Screen shots). Even sitting on the runway with motors off, I was showing 2000 something rpm.
