Hi All,
Phase I flight testing goes well. 9 hours on the clock.
Can someone tell me whether it is possible to guesstimate power percentages in an aircraft with a fixed pitch prop and no manifold pressure information? 992SB has an O-320 in 150HP.
If the throttle is fire-walled at 8,000 feet would that be about 80% power? Can I do a proportional equation to calculate the number of RPM's I'd need for 60? power? How can one calculate power output at different altitudes?
