In the summer of 1943, a brand-new La-5FN made a forced landing on a German airfield providing Luftwaffe with an opportunity to test-fly the newest Soviet fighter. Test pilot Hans-Werner Lerhe wrote a detailed report of his experience [1]. He particularly noted that the La-5FN excelled at altitudes below 3,000 meters (9,840 ft) but suffered from short range and flight time of only 40 minutes at cruise engine power. All of the engine controls (throttle, mixture, propeller pitch, radiator and cowl flaps, and supercharger gearbox) had separate levers which served to distract the pilot during combat to make constant adjustments or risk suboptimal performance. For example, rapid acceleration required moving no less than six levers. In contrast, contemporary German aircraft had largely automatic engine controls with the pilot operating a single lever and electromechanical devices making the appropriate adjustments

OK, то је онда истина, руси никад нису правили нешто удобно, него су компликовали, али кад погледаш, пре борбе ће пилот отворити прорезе радијатора, флапсове подесити. Увек сам се питао шта је то propeller pitch, тј корак елисе, у каквој је то вези са гасом?
