I do need to reduce the rpm at full boost (with pitch not throttle) or the engine is damaged within minutes but around 2700rpm can be sustained indefinitely with rads open.

I enjoy having to manage the aircraft in combat and would prefer if more management was needed on both 109 and Spit. The E4 is, for me, too easy in terms of engine and flight management.
