======Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-3/E-4====== =====Engine===== DB 601 A-1 with blower height = 4500 m ^ on ground ^^^ | | RPM[U/min] | pressure[ata] | | Emergency power = 1' | 2500 | 1,40 | | Short power = 5' | 2400 | 1,30 | | Increased cont. power = 30' | 2300 | 1,23 | | max. cont. power = d | 2200 | 1,15 | | econ. power | 1500 | 0,75 | =====Propeller Pitch Actuation===== * **Bf 109 E-3** * Only manual propeller pitch actuation * **Bf 109 E-4** * Manual and automatic propeller pitch actuation * At taxiing, start, economy-flight and landing use manual pitch(deactivate auto-mode and use buttons to increase/decrease Propeller pitch). * For all other flight modes use the automatic. ====Start==== * Fuel Cock On * Prop pitch Full fine 12:00 * Prop Pitch Manual Variable Pitch * Start ====Warm up==== * Min Oil Temp 40C * Min Coolant temp 40C ====Take off==== * 1.30 ata 2400 rpm * WEP 1.40 ata 2500 rpm (1 Min Clockwork timer) ====Climb==== * 1.23/2300rpm * Climb at 250Kmh to 600m then 240Kmh to 8000m then 220-200Kmh to ceiling * 5Min Rating 1.30/2400 ====Landing==== * Prop Full Fine 12:00 ====Rad Usage==== * Use Oil and Coolant Rads as required to control Coolant and Oil Temp. * Use 3/4 Coolant Rad and 3/4 Oil Cooler at climb settings. * Half open is generally sufficient for most level flight except very low speeds and high boost/rpm. * At high speed 35% Radiator and Oil cooler open is generally sufficient. * Slow speed is the worse situation. Sustained slow speed high power manoeuvring with < half rads should be avoided. ====LIMITATIONS==== * Max IAS 750Kmh * Max Flap Speed 250Kmh * Max Coolant Temp 100C * Max Oil Temp 105C
