One has to note that the Merlin can really get easily very very hot. I realized that during take off and at some altitudes even with low rpm and fine pitch (lever back) it easliy heats up for the Spit1 to nearly 100 despite rads fully open ...

Interesting info, thanks! I have been playing around with the Spit 1 online lately, and leaving the rad fully open (and flying around with fine pitch all the time) so will try it half closed.

Same as Dutch except for Mk1 Spits, I T/O with half Rad and leave it alone at around or just over 3/4 throttle and climb at around 1800 ft per min - same for level flight. Combat/full throttle - open Rad accordingly.

I've noticed that if I line up the top of the handle with the bulkhead that extends down from the dash board I can run at full power with out over heating.
I close it more in a dive with power off but There is no reason to open it more than this really. Maybe if I was at high altitude and low airspeed climbing full power and fine pitch... I have never tested it so see how much drag it really causes but I have heard the real pilots used to mark a line on the wall . |
