It's not easy. . .
2850 RPM and leave the rad on auto.
Just modify boost between +4 for cruise, +9 for accelerating/ combat and +12 to 18 for emergencies.
Stay above 180mph indicated as much as you can . . getting slow results in engine-splosion
Turning left is much harder than turning right.. for some reason.
Diving is dangerous, the wings are prone to snaping off
The nose is unstable... it swings around when you apply control inputs, swaying about quite a lot like pendulum
Blackouts are severe and can have extremely sudden onset, quick enough in many cases to make corrective action impossible
Yup. I have experienced all of the above. I think the biggest lesson I need to learn is 'keep the speed up' as it seems to bleed very quickly in a tight turn then the spit handles like a bomber. I also blew my engine yesterday by letting myself get too slow while climbing.
