Optimizing flight/speed with CEM

[prophet106]

Thanks for the replies chaps (and that lengthy one Woarmonger, excellent).

Yes i open the radiator fully for take off/landing and keep it at about halfway during flight. i'm still slightly at a loss as to the exhaust though. i haven't even contemplated playing it online yet. just working my way through the campaign (hence having to use the spit). i'll try doing as you say with regards to keeping low after takeoff and building up airspeed before climbing.

yes the first couple times i took off for an interecption i keep climbing in fine pitch on full power. It either pops the piston head or blows the carb.

Thanks again. more innane questions to follow im sure !
