Yes thats right but I don't have the time and skill to calculate them
My point was that it seems like there is quite a big difference between the speed gauge in the spit and 109. Countless posts on this forum complain about the spit is going too slow in level flight and most of them draw this conclution from the speed gauge alone. I'm not saying they are wrong, but reading the speed gauges gives the impression that a 109 is travelling much faster than a spit, even if they are flying side by side.
