Ju 87 D-3 need a quick refresh

[indiaciki]

I've been away for a couple of months and I'm starting flying again (the Stuka for now) and I can't find my original manual so here's acouple of questions:

 

!. Radiator control (oil / water) is it manually (i do it that way) or does she have automatic?

 

2. Final at 180 km/h or too fast?

 

3. She tends to quickly drop a wing at low airspeeds on final - correct with rudder ? (I was able to) What's her stall speed?

 

4. pitch contolled manually? (I do)

 

5. mixture (manual or auto) ?

 

6. 0.8 ata and 2000 - 2100 RPM for cruise okay? flew her yesterday for 2h that way about 200 + km/h cruise speed (too slow?)

 

7. at altitude above 3000m she drops to 0.6 ata - increase throttle to 0.8 ?

 

8. tubro charger - haven't used... has to be set manually at what altitude? how does it work?

The manual covers a lot of this.

1. Manual

2. 180 is fine.

3. Use full flaps and 3 point landing.

4. Yes

5. Auto

6. You can cruise at 1.1-1.15ata @ 2200 rpm no problems. Adjust rads accordingly. Cruise speed of 300-330kph.

7. Do not increase throttle, change the supercharger gear. 

8. Manually, what happens when you climb is that your engine lose power, to counter that you change the supercharger gear, gear 1 for alts below 3k-3.5k meters, gear 2 for alts above that.

Thanks:)

 

I found chuck's engine settings, speeds etc.

 

i didn't use full flaps.

It doesn't have a manual supercharger for high altitude. Supercharger is actually auto but you can force it into low gear manually. If not the automated controll will handle it.

 

Another thing: At cruise setting and speed you can adjust water radiator to the "Normal" position to make the engine keep it's tem constant. Oil temperature should always be kept somewhere below water temp.

And don't set your final approach too low. You have plenty of options to reduce altitude (frontward slip, dive brakes, full flaps) and thus can approach higher up to have a better view on the runway.

Thanks 5tuka. I noticed that foward slipping helps. 200 km/h on final is working as she bleeds airspeed during flare

Manual?  I didn't know there was a manual... !

 

I've just gone searching for it and found it here... http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/16752-il-2bos-user-manual-released-first-edition-english/

 

 

I've no idea how I missed it the first time... but hopefully by posting the link, this might help someone else too.

There is a manual:
