S!
So I guess you have to do some tweaking on the A-3 to achieve given specs if cooling slats are set permanently open? I recall reading from Helmut Lipfert's book that he could slow down the Bf109G up to 50km/h when opening the radiator flaps. Finns used them to help the rather weak landing flaps by opnening them manually for landing. But otherwise on automatic so the engine would not get overcooled.
