Friedrich-4B Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) Here is a NACA report on the cooling requirements of the V-1650-7; it gives good details of the engine operating temperatures, coolant flow etc. New additions: Packard V-1650-3 & -7 servicing bulletins, plus Technical Orders relating to the tail surfaces and controls: Edited February 8, 2015 by Friedrich-4/B [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]************************************* Fortunately, Mk IX is slightly stable, anyway, the required stick travel is not high... but nothing extraordinary. Very pleasant to fly, very controllable, predictable and steady. We never refuse to correct something that was found outside ED if it is really proven...But we never will follow some "experts" who think that only they are the greatest aerodynamic guru with a secret knowledge. :smartass: WWII AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE
Crumpp Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Here is the training manual and Technical Order for installation of the inertial weights to correct the force reversals....same issue as the FW-190A! :smilewink: The training manual has a good section on take off's and landing's, too. It also goes into some good detail about dive limitations and high speed flight behaviors. Answers to most important questions ATC can ask that every pilot should memorize: 1. No, I do not have a pen. 2. Indicating 250
Friedrich-4B Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) Some more Technical Orders (T.Os) issued in 1944 & '45 dealt with the P-51D's armament and flight limitations with the fuselage fuel tank. Armament Modification P-51D, issued in January 1945, reduced the ammunition capacity of the inner wing guns from 490 rpg to 400 rpg.
