How to PROPERLY lean the MIXTURE on a light, simple aircraft

DISCLAIMER - I'm not an instructor NOR a mechanic. Please follow the links to the reference material I share in this video and make your own interpretation. I'm not liable if you destroy your engine or get divorced or anything. First of all, huge thanks to Stefan for helping with this video. His participation made a huge difference on the result, really much appreciated. As you can see from the name of this channel, leaning has been a topic which fascinated me for a long time, especially because of all the conflicting ideas and guidance that I have found. So I started doing some investigation, searching on the internet, checking youtube videos from other instructors, until I finally bought a book from Mike Busch called "Engines" and read in great detail all about it. After reading the book I found out that actually Mike Busch posts regularly also on youtube and has two videos on exactly this topic where it explained in great detail. So I didn't need to buy the book but anyway, I enjoyed reading it. I hope you will find this video very valuable and helpful! Cheers!
