Yep I worked at Duxford so had a few chats about them :dontgetit: It depends who flew the 109. Mark Hanna could have anyone in a 109 against a Spitfire :dontgetit:

I believe that was the problem when the Mosquito went in, a negative G move but the carbs were incorrectly set. See we are a mine of usless info on planes :dontgetit:

Make sure there's no damage to your carb. Clean the silt out of your float chamber, change the jet and check the needle valve.

Unbelievable noise

ahh you cant beat a merlin, i love WW2 aircraft was at a classic car show near me and there was a spitfire fly past and i came straight over the top of me... man it was some thing else ive also had the lancaster fly straight over the top of me! :grin:


anyway more to the point.

this is one of the reasons i have brought a HIF38 and am rebuilding it and fitting it, ive got a HS4 SU on it, havent experianced this problem but this will prevent it.
