| Subject: | Re: What is best RPM? |
Louis,
I have approximately 3000 hours on my RV8 over 10 years. I have also flown
other Lyc airplanes. I have always used 2300 x 23 inches and average 9
gallons per hour fuel consumption with no problems and good performance.
Good Luck.
Dick Martin
RV8 N233M
the fast one
