Hi all new to Vans- sorry for any naive questions.
We have an RV6a 0-320 engine
curious what RPM we should achieve topped out?
The plane currently shows 2350 firewall at sea level.
if you pull it back till the engine relaxes, tach shows 2200 RPM/MP is 25"
this produces around 8g/hr fuel burn and planes does an honest 135TAS.
is the engine producing full power?
the prop is a 78
the build manual recommends a 77 or 79 i believe for the 6a 0320
The plane seems to climb very well 1500 at gross weight SL.
it also seems to cruise at a good speed and feels like it is making full power.
the prop feels like a nice combination to me
mag drops are clean
throttle linkage is adjusted to the carb stops.
Does anyone know what RPM we should be running?
also what good power settings you know for this combo
Thanks!
