Hey everyone, as you my know I just started flying my RV-8 and I have endless questions. So I wanted to start a thread where I could post these questions for you experts out there and hopefully it will help someone in the future as well.
I am going to start with some simple ones.
RPM... If I fly at level flight and go full power, my engine will creep above red line (2720 to 2750). I have an O-360 and the vans recommended prop (72FM8S9-1 (85)). 75% power I am seeing RPMs above 2500
Fuel pressure.. 14-15 psi? Too high?
CHT.. Cyl 1 and 2 around 380, Cyl 3 and 4 around 345 degrees. Normal?
I could go on all day..
