Spitfire Unplayable?

Yup, I have noticed that too. I have CEM = off but have noticed this problem is rather random. Some of the quick missions are playable and some aren't, because of the low RPM problem which kicks in either almost immediately or after a minute or so. For those missions with the problem, I switch to the Hurri which doesn't seem to suffer as badly. I think it must be a bug - surely not pilot error?!
