how to handle the spitIX??

[David198502]

hello guys!
as im a total beginner, but really looking forward to become a hunter and not the bait, i have some questions about the spitfires in general and the MKIX, which i prefer to fly.
i think to know that the spitfire is a really good turning plane and good at speed too.
but if i fly online, most of the time i cant catch up witch the enemy planes.
especially if they climb up and i try to follow, they either escape easily because they remain faster, or i even turn into a stall because i loose really fast speed.
and the other problem is that i cant outurn other planes if they are on my six.
even the bfs follow me.if i try to outturn a bf, first i turn tighter,but losing speed, so it catch up and shoots me down.
....so i guess im doing something really wrong with handling my spit.

maybe its because i dont know what the magnets are for, how i use propeller pitch,cowl flaps and compressor stages.
so my question, is there anywhere a thread which explains in detail, how to use the spitfires properly.
i would be very grateful for any information!!!!
by the way excuse my bad english.
