Throttle fixed at 100% and we work with the PP to keep 2000/2100 RPM. Speed 260km/h.

At something like 2,5km of altitude we start to see light shakes (something like one every 5 seconds) and this goes worser the more alt we gain (finally we have a shake every second)

Initially we thought it was a problem of wind or turbolence but at those altitudes the air should be quite (at 5km the shaking is unstoppable)

Because of this our speed falls and after a pair of minutes we have backfire problems.

So we tried to turn down the throttle and the shakes disappear, but can't pull it up that the shaking starts again.

If you have a backfire problem from a exhaust how do you act? I tried to close the fuel but the flames are still there...

I am soryr but i have no clue about that. I am quite a beginner in WW2 aircraft and do not have big experience. I experienced those shakes too but i thought it would be turbulences too...
