Forgive the ignorance (I'm just getting ready to get my PPL), but for the typical lycomings used in RV's, what's the general consensus on a max cruise power setting to use. By that I mean, for engine longevity, what should the max continuous power setting be? Is cruising at 75% power typical, 65%, etc? Most cruise performance numbers seem to be listed at 75% - is that setting hard on the engine, or is that what they're made to take in the long-term?
Just curious.
