Read the pilot's notes, you're not supposed to fly at 100% power for more than a few minutes. Otherwise black smoke pours out and the engine fails 8)

Tis a great way to improve your dead-stick landings Grin

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!
