interesting bird Lisunov Li-2

[mav]

One of the few

Nicely done Mav, but I think the rules of the game won't allow you to upload it......

Huub

What rules??

Good Morning Huub,

if you follow the german manual the engines will start well and will run well.
If you uses my sounds. They are for the first time a bit disconcentrating. You here engine to have some first combustions, than a blank and the engine regins to work more and nore turning round. As I observed a lot or radial engines, the sound at the start sequence seems right.
As it is eastern > big familly day grrrrr I would prefer to work on the pc. So I will see if on tuesday, wednessday I can make a short engines manual in english. The biggest problem are the cylinder heat procedures to resespect.
I will see what I can do - It works that is shure! I had done some flights as from Munich riem to Budapest, Also I transformed a little bit the aircraft cfg in the way that you have passengers and luggage on board.
Hope that I can lep you to use the original or mine panel

Best regards

Michael

Hallo friends,
even the eastern familly day I tried this morning to make a little manual to start the engines
to keep the cylinder head temperatures in her limits the settings sould be as follows
start mixture full rich, 1050 mp, 2200rpm
climb to 1500meters mixture down to 65%, 900mp, 2100rpm
climb to 1500 - 2500 mixture down to 20%
over 3000meters 18%

I hope the little manual might help you for the first flights

Best regards

Michael

Hallo friends,
just uploaded to our prefered site (means here) the complete original manuals for the Li-2 translated in english
The translations might not be 100% accurate. I used a free translator all the technical translators I found demanded to pay for
But I believe that with a bit of good will itis possible to fly the bird with original russian cockpits
I hope that it helps you end encourage those who fly this bird with a Dak panel. The author merrits more than to be depreciated

Best Regards

Michael

Thanks Michael.. Much appreciated.
I've actually also just this minute, done an English translation of the Li2 manual.. You got there before me.!

 

[zswobbie1]

The next I will try to translate are checklists
sad thing that for the switches we cant use an translator as most inscrptions and also in the program files of the gauges it uses abreviations that only a specilist could translate one by one

Best regards

Michael

Michael, Window's 'Snipping Tool' can extract text from a picture and then that can be pasted into a translation program.
Works well.

Thanks to Michael V, Huub Vink and Zswobbie1 (as well as the original authors). My Sunflower (sounds like the endearment to a loved one ) is now touring Cuba, here at Kawama airfield:


I am still finding the Russian panel difficult, the translations have been of some help but for now I am using a western panel. Sometimes life is just too short, but I shall keep trying the russian panel when I get the time.

 

[zswobbie1]

Great work, Michael.
Thanks for doing it.

Good evening "Goldtimers"

started at the Aviodrome and after 1,9h air controled flight landed save at Hamburg Fuhlsbüttel - a lot of traffic there.
At the approach I feared a bit about my cylinder head temperatures. But all got well with a nice "kiss landing". What was a
bit impressing that in the first half of the aproach there where a lot of turbulences. Realy a nice bird to fly

Best regards

Michael

Ps Thank you Huub

I will give it another try MIchael. Meanwhile I had a bright moment and used GoogleLens and its translate option to look at the fuel switches.

The one on the left is the tank selector, which matches your description in the manual. And the one on the right side is the supply selector, so to select which engine you want to feed.

Cheers,
Huub

I appreciate Michaels and Huubs efforts, but even if I stand on my head and turn around 3 times, the right engine won´t start.
