🎙️ S2E15 – Inside the Engine
Throttle forward, prop spinning—what’s really happening under the cowling? In this episode we open the case on your airplane’s powerplant: how the four-stroke cycle turns fuel-air into thrust, why dual magnetos give spark redundancy, and when to lean the mixture for peak efficiency without risking detonation. We’ll compare fixed-pitch and constant-speed props, decode carb-ice clues (and instant fixes), and explain how oil, baffles, and cowl flaps keep cylinder temps in the green. By the end, you’ll read every engine gauge like a mechanic and catch trouble before it grounds your flight.
