Default i need some complex engine management tips (spitfire and hurricane)

the sim just became playable for me since the last beta patch (touch-wood, baring any unforeseen new show-stopping bugz i have yet to encounter), so time to dust of the old HOTAS

i need some complex engine management tips for the spitfire and hurricane, but cant find any in the original pdf manual (? right), what i have figured out so far, to get aircraft started
- open fuel switch
- magneto on (seems to be by default for the hurricane, is this a bug ?)
- radiator open
- mixture to lean
- prop pitch to fine
- throttle set to idle
- fire engine up, and should idle then

then wait to see temp rise to around 30%, and from there start to taxi with low throttle setting (by the time i taxi to the runway the engine is fully warm),
- then turn mixture to rich for takeoff (and then only use lean setting for higher altitude flights).
- keep prop pitch at about 85 for most normal flight (except at 100$ during takeoff)

have i missed anything, or are there any bugs in the spitfire or hurricane that prevent this correct use ?
