[color=#000000]I read your entire reply this morning Doug!
Thank you for the info! I know that engine temps can make or break your entire flight! Some models of my Spitfires
I fly for instance, although no cowl flaps are involved, require you be airborne within seven or eight minutes tops before the engines will severely overheat!
The P-47 I fly requires the cowl flap switches be positioned to neutral the entire flight unless of course the temps cool or heat, then you must open or close accordingly!
Of course I'll never be a real world pilot, the closet I've come to being one was back in the 1980's
Howdy! Safe and Happy Flying!

Best concert/airshow ever!
