about Yak radiator ...

[straffo]

The point : I often get shot in the radiator ... that's life ...
and when I try to RTB (in a hurry  ) I understand that the radiator wont survive  long but I would now if there is a proper method to get it last longer  
Should I push full throttle climbing like hell with the hope that I could glide to a friendly field or should I chop the throttle to grab some time ?
(provided there is no red icon to help my virtual incarnation suffer less  ))

regards
Fred

I'm not sure quite how HTC models the radiator leaks.  I doubt they actually model the engine temp, so I would WEP and use my max climb to try to give me as much altitude to glide with as possible.  Depending on your distance from a base of course... if you have some alt and are close, I'd go for level for speed and get there fast before it dies.
