Note what these say about the dive rpm limitations.

Looking in SPit MK II manual there is limiation for 87 Octan fuel ( + 9lb):
- climb ( 30 minutes) - + 9lbs at 2850 RPMs
- all level ( 5 minutes) - + 9 lbs at 3000 RPMs
- max dive (20 second limit) - + 9lbs at 3600 RPMs
I think i dont broke these limitation in my flights when my engine was a few times broken.
Also i notice that Spit dont slow on landing after touch down - it seemed like bug.
Strange for me is also rudder responsive expecially in 109 - i fly planes and gliders but it seemed that it is too high roll interia during rudder operation
Other thing are slats in 109 which open too late - at too low speed and too high angle of attack.
I think there are a few FM problems which should be noted and fixed.
