Hi Stirwenn, as I said at the end of the vid, above about 12,000ft drop to 2400rpm.
The other key issue here is that the reduced drag from the radiator at 50% makes the Spit as slippery as an eel, energy retention is fantastic, and yesterday I got my first unshared 109 kill for about 6 months up at 16,500.
Followed him vertically upwards, downwards, everywhere.
Do not exceed 50% rad in any of the RAF Fighters. It will kill your speed dead - and therefore your cooling.
