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.
