Thanks all, for the replies, I can rotate a little more easily now. Because I am a pusher (that doesn't sound exactly right) My in-cabin noise may be less than with a tractor, and because the aircraft is glass perhaps it will be a little quieter. In any case, because I am a little (?) older I may not hear the noise as acutely as younger eared people. So I won't worry about the throttle setting and keep my TO RPMs at or below the Renesis recommended stats. That still leaves the mixture question unleaned.

Rich,

 

If your prop will allow it, I take = off at 7100 rpm, best power, WOT.  After I get 6-700 ft, I dial the rpm = back to about 6500, still best power and WOT.  For cruise about 5800-6000, = leaned about 50 degrees below peak, still WOT.  The only time I adjust the throttle is during the approach to landing, otherwise WOT.  Adjust = power with the rpm.  Temp is the critical factor if you don’t yet = know how the setup cools.  I have a red line of 220 on water and have never = seen my oil above 200.  On a really hot day I can see the temp hit 220 by = the time I am reducing power.  The power reduction and increase the speed = from 100K to 120K and it cools right down with my setup.  I see about 180 = water and 160 oil in cruise.

 

If you have a pusher be aware of = your pitch on rotation and landing.  How much clearance do you have for = the prop?
