I'm not sure about being faster on the fine setting, I haven't experienced that. But, I get the same thing with the RPMs... I cannot get over that dangerous rpm limit like in the video if I set the pitch fine and crank the throttle full.
The video makes it seem like you can easily wreck the engine doing this, but with full CEM & Heat management the only thing that I have to make sure is the radiator is set correctly... Anything else only affects my speed... Dives, incorrect prop pitch, changing the mixture, throttle wherever I feel like it, nothing seems to make the engine go into dangerous zones.
Doesn't seem right to me. I had seen quite a few people post that they kept blowing their engines so quickly and couldn't get the settings right. I decided not to try CEM & Heat managment for a while because it seemed so hard. Finally when I tried it, I never blow my engine or have oil come up anywhere. Doesn't seem right to me, I think it should be harder.
I'm no ace or anything and can't reach top speeds, but I don't understand why I don't wreck my plane with my horrible engine management. Oh ya, I've tried all variations of the Spit doing this.
