Blenheim in new release
 

I'm not complaining, especially since I fly the red side, but it seems the Blenheim does not suffer from overheating.

I put everything on max: props fine, boost on, 110% of power, and I can fly so long..

How long the historic Blenheim stand without overheating?

Radiator open and low altitude? What's your RPM?

No overheating until rads down below 50% (I flew for more than 20 minutes until failure when put rads at 40%).

My RPMs in tests was about 1850. Altitude 8000 fts.

Mixture rich or poor also dont affect the plane....

Take a look on google images. Never seen a photo of a Blenheim in flight with the cowl flaps noticeably open! Even in Africa.

I'll ask my Grandad about it when I next see him. He was a Fitter for 14 squadron and would have had to repair the damage due to pilots flying around with closed cowl flaps if it was indeed an issue!

Why don't you look at the pilot note ? :evil:

I read, and recommended limits seem below what I could do:

The highest is 30 min for 2750 rpm and +9psi

And the maximum temp recommended is 235, but I flew above the margin

But my sources or interpretation maybe are wrong why am I asked
