Tip Thread - how to fly ,flight , maneuver the plan

[assafm25]

So

as new pilot like me on the Spit .

what are your best TIP'S u can tell for us about Flying , fighting and use the plane .

[TBear]

I think that actually we are all new with the Spit..so i guess we still have to let some time pass ;)

 

Btw...in those few hours i'm using the Spit I can humbly say: In a dogfight against a 109k never go vertical and stay in a speed window between 230 and 260 mph. Actually everytime i stay under 220 mph i break the engine...doesnt matter how much RPMs i keep...:/

 

Anyway i'm wayting for some WWII Guru Pilot's advice :)

Yeah the engine is easy to break, after multiple issue I always stay at 2800rpm and +12/+16 boost, and when I need power I do a little push 3000rpm full boost for few seconds and then came back to my "combat safe engine mode" to not break it.

 

Advices concerning this would be nice

for the engine, there are tables in the manual that tell you how long in what config you can fly

[Hiromachi]

That's theory. In practice this window can be much shorter if you dogfight at lower speeds, I found myself flying at 2750-2800 RPM / + 8 lbs even in dogfights just to keep that oil far from exceeding limits as in turns at speeds between 220-280 mph oil temperature tends to raise rapidly.

 

I was thinking if there is an option to mess with radiator and keep it open all the time.

[Zilch]

Yep, biggest challenge with the Spit has been keeping the engine intact...

[assafm25]

No Gyro Sign for the spit?

[razo+r]
