bf109 pilots manuals

Posted by Graham P on Tue Oct 30, 2001 05:45:12 AM

Does anybody now any websites which have information relating to flying the bfl09. I am particularily interested in comparing the characteristic of the F variant (DB061 engine) against the G variant (DB605 engine). It appears the DB605 engine was more prone to overheating and the pilot had to be more careful about throttle and RPM settings. From the information I have the DB605 engine is rated as:

1.3ata/2600rpm for 30mins
1.42ata/2800rpm it is less than 5 mins
1.42ata is WEP for a DB605A-1 without MW50.
With MW50 a DB605DCM could make "wet" WEP of 1.85ata

Any comments would also be welcome.

Regards,
Graham P.
