	Airfield Models - Setting Model Aircraft Engine Mixture Controls
		Once an engine is broken in and the carburetor is set properly you should not have to make radical changes unless something else that affects engine performance has changed.
		If the engine is new then you may have to make some coarse adjustments just to keep it running, but let the engine run for a bit before attempting to dial it in.
		When tuning a conventional engine with the needle in the carb, you can turn the needle until the engine is at the setting you want.

		Aircraft engine controls provide a means for the pilot to control and monitor the operation of his aircraft's powerplant.
		This article describes controls used with a basic (A heat engine in which combustion occurs inside the engine rather than in a separate furnace; heat expands a gas that either moves a piston or turns a gas turbine) internal-combustion engine driving a (A mechanical device that rotates to push against air or water) propeller.
		Carburetor Heat Control - Controls the application of heat to the carburetor venturii area to remove or prevent the formation of ice in the throat of the carburetor.

		Fixed-wing aircraft generally use an internal-combustion engine in the form of a piston engine (with a propeller) or a turbine engine (jet or turboprop), to provide thrust that moves the craft forward through the air.
		The major distinction in aircraft usage is between military aviation, which includes all uses of airplane for military purposes (such as combat, patrolling, search and rescue, reconnaissance, transport, and training), and civil aviation, which includes all uses of airplanes for non-military purposes.
		Aircraft engine manufacturers This list of aircraft is sorted alphabetically, beginning with the name of the manufacturer (or, in certain cases, designer).

		The primary control of yaw is with the rudder.
		The elevators are the primary control of pitch.
		Control horns may also incorporate a counterweight which helps to balance the control and prevent it from "fluttering" in the airstream.

		The main control surfaces are attached to the airframe on hinges so they may move and deflect the air stream passing over them.
		They are hinged to the back edge of the control surface and by redirecting the air stream they generate a force to hold the main control surface in the desired position.
		Air brakes - these are used on high speed aircraft and are intended to increase the drag of an aircraft without altering the amout of lift.

	Introduction to Model Engines- Dubai RC Hobbies
		In a 2-cycle engine the fuel/air mixture (as metered by the carburetor) is forced into the combustion chamber during the down stroke of the piston.
		In a 4-cycle engine the fuel/air mixture (as metered by the carburetor) is brought into the combustion chamber during the down stroke of the piston through a valve operated by the crankshaft.
		This barrel controls the amount of fuel/air mixture going to the combustion chamber and is activated by a small arm mounted on the side of the carburetor.

	Lucas to Supply Power Systems for Embraer 135 and 145 RJs
		The company is also highlighting its engine control capability with a range of business, commuter and regional aircraft including the Citation X. A Lucas FADEC and fuel metering unit will be shown.
		Some other Lucas innovations include new fuel control technology to manage temperature increases from low-fuel-usage conditions, advances in the FADEC state of the art through distributed engine controls, and variable frequency electric power generation and distribution on a turbofan aircraft.
		The Lucas-distributed engine control components, linked together by means of high-speed busses, use "fuzzy logic" to accurately identify faults and speed maintenance.

	KEN MACIVER, EVP, TRW AERONAUTICAL SYSTEMS (LUCAS AEROSPACE)
		The more-electric aircraft will have major system requirements in flight controls, power management and engine controls, Maciver says.
		He states that Lucas has already established the benefits of variable frequency power generation and power-by-wire flight controls, and believes its level of experience is currently unmatched in the integration if flight controls, power management and engine controls, to meet the additional systems' needs of the more-electric aircraft.
		Lucas is also supplying engine controls to Rolls-Royce for the Trent engines which will power the A340-500/600, as well as the A3XX and the Boeing 747X Stretch.

		The wingspan is 50 to 60 inches and a.40 to.45 cubic inch glow engine is used for motivation.
		All that is needed for control is a 2 channel radio for rudder and elevator.
		Changing how sensitive the controls are is all that is needed to turn a tame and stable trainer into a very capable aerobatic machine.
