The spit mk 1 (2 stage prop) not a joke
spit mk1 2 stage prop is the plane to fly now
for take off, warm rad temp to 60C then push the throttle and mixtue to 100% together, the engine stutters then spins up.
full fine pitch in climb or when flying slow (can even use fine when high up climbing, to catch the old tactic of the 109 slow but steep climb, just before they roll over stalling) also use fine when turning hard, especially when low. dont be afraid to run extended times at 3000rpm, just watch the temps when you get higher up.
full course pitch when diving, picks up speed like a bat out hell, and keeps it for a while, which means you can chase 109's again.
I not got the mixture quite right yet, however it is modeled the correct way, which means full forward for rich. it comes back down when you throttle back (like the hurri) so when dogfighting low remember to push it forward if you throttle back when throttleing back up.
This plane is a match for the 109 if You practice the 2 stage prop
The dh5-20 is a good plane also
After 3 days flying everyone who i told this to now flies the mk1
happy flying!
