Bf 109E:

Time to height: to 9,840ft 31 minutes, to 19,685ft 71 minutes



Que?

That link's utter BS. :shock:

I think it' meant 3,1 min to 9840 ft and 7.1 min to 19685 ft.

Sounds good to me since the spit MkI needs 6.85 min to get to 15,000ft according to that site. :)



Edit: what does "6.85 min" mean anyways?

0.85 * 60 = 51 seconds. Easy, 6 minutes 51 seconds. I've never understood why anyone does that either. :)

I know, "1 min and 85% of 60 sec" makes complete sense. LoL

Same "ports" in spinner tips had Bf110C/D/E. It is for cooling the magneto, and not for cannon mounting.

OK, thanks! I have allways thought that was a gun port.

Strange that some versions of the E-model has it, and others don't.

In the illustration on page 1 of this thread it seems like all versions up to the E-3 and the E-4/B has a hole in the spinner, while the E-4 and E-7 has a conventional spinner.

On F-models and later models the spinner is quite different.
