Like a number of others, I am working on getting my IFR rating in my RV. In my case it is a 6A with IO360B1F6/MT 3 Blade CS prop, 430W, SL70, SL30, and S-Tec-30. Round guages on the pilot side except for the HSI replacement GRT-Mini-AP.
A bunch of hood time has made me better all around from a procedures perspective.
Hardest part for me is maintaining airspeed and altitude simultaneously. What are you been-there-done-that types using for your approach airspeed and how do you maintain it?
MAP, RPM, and mixture are things that I am trying to standardize on and my instructor is pushing me to checklist these items. We're currently using full rich, 2500RPM, and about 16"MAP as part of the stabilized approach technique.
Suggestions and best practices appreciated!
