Thrust vs. Prop Pitch

Well I confess I wasn't looking too closely at the speedo, but it stayed in the 450-500 range for quite some time.

Rads closed really helps. 440 kph indicated seems a little slow to me, I hit 450ish no problem at 2000m or so without having to dive.

Don' forget to close the oil rad too.

There is a shark tooth on the crtl gauge. I use it regularly as a mark for high perf regime - e.g. high speed/ high cruise / fast climb - or high alt setting (5K - to keep the oil warm) with no problem.

Hurricane (Rotol):
throttle 70%, pp 50%, waterrads at full open, altitude roughly 2000f, my max speed were about 250-260mph. but i was slightly losing altitude.
