The point : I often get shot in the radiator ... that's life ...
and when I try to RTB (in a hurry (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)) I understand that the radiator wont survive long but I would now if there is a proper method to get it last longer (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
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 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)))
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.
