Fiat G.50 performance...

I wonder if the G.50 did have a boost control that prevents over-boosting below FTH.

Edit: As there was a +100 button to obtain higher boost it obviously did have a boost control.

Thanks Franky I found it.

Any tips on warming up to 200? That has to take forever the current way I do it. Rads closed and give it some throttle does that work best? You also have to adjust the cylinder head knob to get a proper reading right? Some guys on ATAG told me that last night and it helped setting it on "3".

Hi,

You need to close both oil rad and eng cowling flaps right after ignition. The wait for the oil to raise to 50+ deg (don't let it goes beyond 60 !) and 250 for the engine cylinder. Usually I select the 3rd pos to monitor the higher cylinder temp (lever at 12hr as always)

In flight keep cylinder temp btw 250 and 300 (it required to let open the eng cowling flaps most of the time what doew not seems to be accurate).

The oil rad need to be ctly monitored with the flaps closed or opened to keep temp in teh 50 to 60 range (close it when your eng temp is falling - partially open it at cruise speed depending of your flight regime - open it fully when the temp is reaching the 60 mark (9 o'clock position)

At allt>1500 you'll need to start to lean the mixture. It means decreasing the ratio of Fuel air SLIGTLY !

Regarding the G50 perfs and flight model I hve in the idea that this part of teh CoD project was intended to be a Cr42. They then switched it into a G50 when they realized that their Spit model was out turning the biplane (probably trhat's why we don't hve a flyable Glad.

Thing you hve to know:
- a crazy Spit G addict will always out turn your G50 leaving you falling down to earth with no frwd speed.

- With a Hurri (a one with a CoD approved FM), it will depends of your speed. At slow speed, the thick hurr wing will play its part; let your nose drop, gain 50/100 kph and then you'll turn tighter.

- The two 12.7mm MG are very effective giving you can aim accurately for 1 sec. During BoB, RAF pilots were issued no to go on head-on with th eitalian planes. Some of the most talented RAF jockey loose their pride that way

- the sound of your bullets hitting an opponent is awsome. Enjoy your open cockpit experience !

I hope it will helps you.
