Well done!!!
Looks like 2800 rpm is, to me, the best for performance and engine temps combined.

Did you experience any overheating?
cheers

no no all temperatures using 2800 still between 100єC 104єC, but that depends what altitude you are, at 18k+ i dont get overheating with 2800 neather 3000 for a long time... but 3000rpm still overheating under 14k- too easy, you have to watch out when use 3000rpm to accelerate your plane...

At 18k+ you can use all settings with no problem, of course you have to pay attention in your temp, dont exceed 115єC or your engine will blow...

At 18k+ the best setting i test and i use is 2800rpm when i want to accelerate and mantain my energy for more time, works preaty good so far :D

hope i help you! :salute:

I normally don't fly red but I hope this helps the spit pilots to get the most out of their planes.
