Hello,
On the Van's Aircraft performances table, RV7 with 200 hp fly 180 kt (207 mph) at 8500 ft 75% power, solo weight and 2 blade C/S prop.
I have a brand new RV7 with IO375 (195 HP) from Aerosport Power and WW 200RV prop ( 2 blade C/S).
At 8500 ft, 75% means full Throttle, but I cannot reach those performances, only a little 170 kt (195 mph). I precise I fly LOP ( FF 31l/h)
Is the Van's Aircraft performances table wrong or is it me ?
Is anybody with a similar configuration who reach better results ?
Take a look on the pic, screen shot test at 7500 ft.
In advance thank you
Sylvain
