| Rich. I think you got some loaded questions there. Best power/speed is a combination of factors involving engine, prop, airframe, weight, ego, wallet etc.
For maximum TO/ cruize etc. same applies but your nerves, wallet & cooling are probably the limiting factors.
I have a quadrant with 2 levers, 1 marked noise, 1 rpm, I find it best to have noise set at loud for takeoff & rpm at fast. For cruize noise at not so loud & rpm at slow. Landing, noise at less, rpm fast.
Seriously, You'll work out your best settings when flying off your initial hours.

Greetings all,
As I approach finishing my aircraft (probably in the next year -- although
I have been saying that for the last three years,) my thoughts are moving to how
to operate the rotary without damaging it and gear box and achieving the best
efficiency/ speed/ power with the above two criteria in mind.
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.
Thanking you all in advance,
Rich
