I've been recording my RV-8's cruise data and power settings to get a feel for what it will actually cruise at.
Engine is a TMX-390 with a Whirlwind 74RV prop.
I'd love to see what other IO-360 and -390 people are getting at the cardinal altitudes for cruise.
I record MP, RPM, FF, TAS, IAS, OAT, % hp, LOP/ROP, and altitude. Measurements are taken after 4-5 minute of steady-state flight. I also record general W/B (fore, mid, aft) and DA.
I've recorded data at 24/24 up to FT/2,400 and 2,500 up to 11,500. It'll scoot at 2,500 RPM!
I'd love if some of you would share your data so I can ensure I'm not setting some dumb power/mixture setting. I like the infield of the ballpark.
Thanks in advance!
