My setup is as follows: Normally aspirated Renesis Tracy's EC-3, EM-3 Tracy's RD1-C Ivo Prop with C/S/ attachment Pusher configuration So Mike Bush says the best configuration is to fly with wide open throttle and control power with RPM (lowest possible consistent with smooth running) and LOP Of course this is for cylindered engines. I know that the Otto Cycle is the same for ours and theirs but my question is, from those familiar with the running of these beasts: Do the same parameters hold--- or what is the best way to run the engine. Additionally what is the maximum TO RPM for the Renesis and maximum Cruise RPM, if there is a difference... as well as the parameters in which the engine (of course properly cooled) can be safely run.

Greetings all,

My setup is as follows:
 
Normally aspirated Renesis
Tracy's EC-3, EM-3

Ivo Prop with C/S/ attachment
Pusher configuration
 
So  Mike Bush says the best configuration is to fly with wide op= en=20 throttle and control power with RPM (lowest possible consistent with smoot= h=20 running) and LOP
 
Of course this is for cylindered engines.
 
I know that the Otto Cycle is the same for ours and theirs but my que= stion=20 is, from those familiar with the running of these beasts:
 
Do the same parameters hold--- or what is the best way to run th= e=20 engine.

Thanking you all in advance,
