Ernest, First, I think I'll defer all your questions concerning MAP and throttle
positions to Tracy or Ed. I know that you can have WOT at low rpm that
requires a different amount of fuel as WOT at high rpm. Engine loads
has a lot to do with things, hence the MAP port to the EC-2. The EC-2
instructions clearly state not to attempt adjusting a/f ratios without a
prop, or some means to load the engine. To do so is a waste of time...
makes sense.
Hadn't even considered that. Goose it on a steep hill, and you could easily flood a car engine.
The closest we come to that in airplanes is the difference between a prop unstalling on the takeoff run, and running it flat out in cruise. I bet the mixture knob wouldn't be enough to compensate for the difference.
