What am I doing wrong? 2-stage prop spitfires.

Edit; It's coarse, not course like many in here use http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/coarse

Ah yes you are right of course. I am just so much more used to typing that rather than coarse.

I was actually kind of thinking along those lines (the pitch of the coarse setting being wrong) since the top speed of the MkII seems to be at around 2700 rpm, and the coarse setting of the Ia drops it down to less than 2200 in level flight. When I get a chance I will drop the rpm of the Mk II down to 2200 at full throttle and see what happens.
