Hello Ivank!

I made some tests for the 109 until 4000m (1.3 ATA and around 2280 RPM, rads open). I do not tried the Spits because i am not used to it. I am assuming an error in speed of +-10Km/H and in altitude of 50 meters. The following results:

100m/sea level: 410 km/h IAS
1000m: 420 Km/H IAS
2000m: 430 Km/H IAS
3000m: 430 Km/H IAS
4000m: 410 Km/H IAS

This matches very well your speed found for the spit. Should be interesting gather data from diferent pilots when calculating the average since it one had a different flying hability. After i ll test the 109 for higher altitude. I suggest you create a method of testing and put it here. Then all pilots can contribute making tests following the method and send info to be gathered. This way we can use many observations and reduce the error and the same time no one had big work repeating the tests. And i guess it is much better and informative gather data from different guys.

My guessing is that this guys stating that 109 can outfly the Spit easily in CloD is simply because they are flying wrong, most of time they are simply whirlwinding down there in the deck. I barely can see a spit above 4000m. The want to zip zap when engaged by a 109 with energy advantage then climb like a rocket on its sixs and shot them down. Obviously a 109 coming out of dive will outclimb. The acs aremb them easily very well matched.
