Impressive Dutch. I've never tested the Spit MkIa 100 octane except for the quick and dirty stability test. I've always accepted others reports.

I also noticed it took 12 seconds of established inverted flight before the oil pressure dropped to the minimum 30 psi allowed for normal flight.

You didn't get on my nerves at all.

Good to know mate, thanks.

For info, all of the current RAF fighter models benefit from the 50% rad setting. Control temps with pitch and boost. If you go over 50% rad, the drag will kill you. Please try and verify this in the steed of your choice with your squad mates. Even 'Other Dutch' who crashed on take-off (sorry mate!)

All fighter aircraft that is. The Blen is still erm, shall we say 'disadvantaged' in this new patch.

For the rookies here whats the 100oct got over the 2a atm ? i fly the 2a mostly and have not blew the engine as yet but tonight i tried Dutch's tips and popped the engine twice in the 100oct...i think its the mixture that done me in and i did try to keep blue flame exhaust at all times, i will give it another go for sure.

Thx Dutch

Ach du liebe gott meine herren.

Look, I'm not here to give you all the answers. But I do like to make sure everyone knows what I've found out. I don't keep it to myself like a lot of people do.

There is no 'set this at that, and this at the other and you'll do fine'. Everything is variable, mainly according to airspeed. It's up to you.

I've given people some good guidelines to go off. Now go and test it for yourselves.

I thank you, I thank you.

(Now I deserve a DFC as far as I'm concerned).

the thing i have found with the spits and it the same for them all is below 1500f you can run 100% throttle, 100% prop and 100% mixture and 50% radiator all day as long as you keep the airspeed above 150mph or more and if i look like have having heat problem i can cool in second by dropping the throttle 20%.

the biggest problem with spit is when you get above 7000f an at this altitude you should start bringing back the mixture down 10% for every 1000f above a 7000f. Keep your RPM at about 2700 and try and keep your speed up and keep your engine cool ready for combat.
