Lysander Airshow -- Pilot's View

Sat Oct 30, 2021 8:07 am

Here's another in my series of flying-with-commentary videos, in a Westland Lysander, from an airshow last month.

It's interesting to design and fly a sequence that displays the aeroplane well, and safely, that is more than just fly-bys.

I am delighted that you seem to enjoy making these videos. Because I am always delighted to watch them. You have a real talent for 'content', as your vids always leave me feeling contented. Cheers to you, sir, and thank you once again!

What is the reasoning behind the mixture full aft for full rich?

I stand to be corrected but I believe that when you retard the throttle it automatically brings the mixture lever back into rich with it.

Correct. On the Harvard and Yale (and presumably more British & Commonwealth types) there is a spring loaded catch on the throttle lever that pulls the mixture lever next to it to rich when you bring the throttle back to idle.
