Piper J3
Posted: Thu Jul 23, 2009 11:31 amAs hard as I try I can barely get the default J3 to achieve an altitude of 2,800 ft. I've got a default load, and even when I empty it by putting 0% fuel it still only goes upto 4,000 ft.

Once you approach 5,000 feet ASL, you have to gradually weaken the Mixture to gain more power in a normally aspirated (carburettor) engine.....
Slowly weaken the Mix, and listen to the engine; when it starts to falter, slightly richen the Mix again until the engine runs smoothly.
You now have Maximum Power.
