 | R.R. Merlin 66 Hello all! Anyone in here know how long the R.R. Merlin 66 could run at 3000rpm (or just 3000rpm) before it overheated, this would be on the Spitfire Mk. IX with automatic radiators. And if anyone know please tell me at what altitude to! Thanks!

| Off the top of my head I think it was 16 minutes, but I could be wrong here (Gotta book somewhere about the Merlin). Hot Space |

| Only something I want to point out... I think you're wrong concerning the Mark IX. As far as I know, that Spitfire was powered by a Merlin 61, not a Merlin 66. Unless there is a variant of the Mk. IX that I don't know. |
