2400 vs 2500 rpm

Post by awash2002 »

Through my own testing with the IO-520 I found that flying the aircraft at 2400 rpm leaned to 14.4gph yields 165 knots True at 7000 feet but is there any advantages by flying at 2400 rpm vs 2500 rpm? I have briefly tried it on my recent flight to Lakeland FL But just for a few minutes though

23 squared seem's to work best for me. I'm still testing her out, though. Usually 13.5gph with 160knts.

Having so much fun with this aircraft.
