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?

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.
Any thoughts of what
to do with the mixture????
