Started some test flights for performance data. It is hard to control all variables. Especially density altitude!!! But here is some preliminary data below. I didn't do the best job controlling EGT on this, so there is some variability in power at each level but not a lot.
6000-7500 feet seemed to be the sweet spot for TAS. I'm going to work in that area some more and play with power settings.
It is 2000' Pdens on the ground here right now.....
