What RPM do you use for cruise?

Van's Aircraft uses 2,500 RPM at 8,000' density altitude for their performance testing. However, one RV-10 pilot noticed a 1 knot increase in airspeed at 2300 RPM when compared to his airspeed at 2500 RPM.

I think just a hair over 20K is as high as N256H has been. It certainly
DOES NOT like to cruise up that high, but it loves as high as 18K. Usually
15K will get over the worst weather, or at least high enough to be able to
sneak between the build-ups. It is very economical up there.

Do not archive.
