I think there was a thread on this topic but I can't find it. What are the optimum parameters for prop pitch? Such as Static RPM, desired climb RPM, desired cruise RPM?
Also how do we calculate % power at different altitudes? The only document I can find is in the Rotax literature that says 50% is 4800 rpm and 75% is 5000 rpm. It seems to me that can't be true at sea level AND at 8500 feet. Is it possible to use manifold pressure to figure that out? We have it displayed and there must be some utility. I have never had one on other that a variable pitch aircraft.
The pitch settings are very close together and it is difficult to make "small" changes. I had it at what I thought was OK but then needed to take the prop off and now I am trying to get it back to where it was.
If we get wheel pants option is this going to change and how?
