Members,
Our RV-6 has a new Hartzell HC-C2YR-1BFP (F7497-2 Blades) and a new YIO-360-M1B.
The great news is there are no limitations from Hartzell. We can run 2700 all day long if so desired.
In flying the B-25 with Wright R-2600, we concern ourselves with reciprocating load. Specifically, we avoid having the manifold pressure x 100 less than the RPM.
For example, if the RPM is 2000, we never want to have less than 20 inches of manifold pressure. Would reciprocating load apply to the Lycoming 360 also?
What WOT and prop settings do you use and why?
Are there any prop/manifold pressure settings you try to avoid? Why?
