Spitfire I/II starting procedure

[jf1981]

Hey

Since I'm not sure wether I'll be able to make it for Hurri and 109 soon

Basics are the same, however for Hurri, you have control over the flaps position, neutral for neutral, up for rise, down for lower, and an indicator for actual position.
You may use up to position 28 for take off, fully down for landing.

For 109 on the ground remember to open also the oil cooler. This is a yellow handle on cockpit side. Also set the pitch to fully fine.
Don't over rev your propeller. Some 109 have automatic pitch control, not all. If they do, it's needed to manually adjust to fine before take off.

Thanks for your posts, I'd like to prepare a small check list and important things to have with you for flying.
