| I had no onboard mix control, but I had a needle on the nitrous alone, so I had control over the quantity of nitrous. When my bottle was pressurise with nitrous and ready to use, I simply richen the motor 1/8 of a turn to be on the safe side. I started at first with very little nitrous then opened the nitrous needle until I felt the power. Having a 5 min shot of nitrous in an heli will take a really big bottle, but I just tought of a nitrous shot taking place when the blades reach full pitch. Not sure if the supercharger pressurise the intake air, maybe just a little, what I think it does to produce more power is that it just blow air in. This way the scavenging effect is maximized and the RPM raise faster, so even with a tired engine you still got good power. In an heli RPM stay constant, so you're surely right that a supercharger of that kind don't work in that application.
