A tip from a magazine on a 109 E flight.

To ensure you don't overdo the rpm on take off set the pitch to 11:30. I now fly like most of the time.

I set the throttle to 90% and now my I use the pitch to keep the rpm around the red arrow... My problem only comes when I spot an aircraft below me and dive its very hard to keep an eye on the pitch enemy and rpm and I normally end up either losing sight of the contact, ignoring my wildly high rpm until I start to shake to bits or forget to stop turning the pitch down which end up in losing all energy as you start your climb back up. All of three of these mistakes usually end in a disaster, but i am getting better and I see this as a huge increase in gameplay over 1946 as its much harder to boom and zoom now
I switched from a throttle lever to one of my hat switches to control the 109 pp that way I can have it the right way (Spits and Hurris are still mapped to my throttle) and it stops on release, I just try and match the rpm, reducing pp to keep the rpm's out of the red, I found before I was using the hat switch I would set it for dive and then forget to centre it I would pull out in full course, totally screwed for the climb out, but when you get it right it works well.

Pretty easy to judge just by the sound?...or at least i see to be able to do that for the most part..

You can go way over the red mark on yer RPM's btw just don't leave it there too long..

If your BnZ'n and your trying to keep it inside the limit (red mark) then no wonder your having a hard time

Oohhh good idea and then I can use the lever I currently have it set to for mixture control when the 190 arrives

Thanks tiger
