I don't have a free web space now so I have to use one of those free traffic limited (10Mb) services. Here it is again but anyone can can put it to her/his web space if there is some interest on this type  data if the traffic limit is reached again.

Got filehangar account so now there should be no traffic restrictions.

However, when Faber's aircraft was used in a run against a Spitty and a Tiffy, it did have engine problems.
Was that before this test?

Yes, the bench tests were done after flight tests to determine reasons for rough running (it's said directly in the doc as well as the reason for rough running BTW).
