Interesting...
At 20 GPH total that is about 55% - 60% power LOP?
What MP, RPM etc do you set? What do you get for average Indicated airspeed, at what altitude? Mine is an RSTOL T337D. A mechanic who used to maintain a bunch of them, including mine at the time, told me my RSTOL flew noticeably more nose down at higher cruise than similar. I have spent so much time (2,000 hrs) on shorter trips (<2 hrs mostly), lower down (from 9k down to 'at or below 500'), at so many power configs, none stands out as optimal for long legs. A few 3-4 hr trips at 11-12k, briefly higher (14k), for passenger (wife) comfort. --- One of these days when I have nothing else to do.... I will record an actual performance table for my turbo RSTOL Anyone else ever compared to 'book' for a turbo RSTOL?
