Help with prop aircraft

Featured Replies

I am trying to fly a Maule 7 in Microsoft flight. I would post this in that section but I don't think it pertains to that software. I am wondering how to fly the aircraft. I don't understand the use of the mixture and propellor. I am wondering when I need to increase or decrease one or the other for climb etc. I was flying one of the missions in flight and I was gradually increasing altitude, probably around 400 ft VS and when I had my mixure, prop and rpm at 100% the entire time yet my speed kept decreasing. This was around 7000ft. I am wondering how I can fly the plain without stalling it because that is exactly what happened at 8000 ft. I understand that the air gets thinner the higher you go but I just don't understand the physics of the prop and mixture control. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Perhaps this website will answer your question - http://www.maulepilots.org/. They have a forum to answer questions like yours. There's also a lot of info available on the Internet about this aircraft.Best regards,Jim
