Today I did some flying and wanted to see how the -12 was in efficiency at different power settings. I need to try this again at a higher altitude where I would typically cruise. I know this is not perfect data and there are more accurate ways of accomplishing this.
I was flying at 5200 ft with an OAT of 32F, only one person and 6 gallons of fuel.
Prop pitch setting would change these numbers between -12's. I would be interested in seeing what others are seeing.
I only measured TAS from the Dynon. WOT (wide open throttle) had a max RPM of 5770.
I will try lower RPM settings to see how efficient the -12 can be.
