1, dunno ,

2, you damaged your engine, if you havnt changed mix, prob overrun the revs

3 magneto gives you spark for spark plugs

4 radiator cools engine but produces drag so slows you down, its another balancing act

5 redline short periods best to try avoiding it

6 vibration usually bad pitch or mix its all trial and error really just ten mins ago i took of as normal and I guess I overeved the engine lost all power and crashed before i could get back to base. A time previous I changed pitch too early and the engine just died on me. damned engines are very sensitive in this game thats a cert.

Gollum that boost cut out thingy i dont understand either it seems a once use thing , like breaking a seal, so i guess to stop using you just throttle back. My turn for a question now.
MY COMPASS in the cockpit just isnt right.
Pointing north the sea is on my right side ok
My compass is 90* out, this is on a server dont know how or why this is no wonder i keep getting lost
While over france i steered 270* to get back across the channel but ended up over dutch belgium germany area
And all the time im thinking "soon i will reach the channel". lol.
