I just bought an RV-6A with an o320 160hp Lycoming and a Sensenich 70CM7S9-0 (79) PITCH PROP.
What should the max rpm be in cruise?
POH says run at 2200 to 2500 rpm and do not exceed 2600 rpm. What are most people seeing at full throttle in cruise?
Thanks
No manifold gauge. I am only seeing 2500 rpm max. I'm not sure if it is a reading error. I need to get an optical tach to test it.
My cruise speed is good, at 4500' doing a 2 way test I got 207mph and 178mph, but If it really isn't making 2600 I want to adjust it for better takeoff/ high density altitude performance.
