I have a RV9a with io320 that i can run lean of peak.
So the question is climb or cruise?
Do i spend 45 min and climb to 14500 and cruise up there, or do I climb to 9500 and cruise there?
It seems my climb takes most of my gas, so cruise is very low.
How to do I figure this out to optimize for a trip? What is the math?
I dont seem to be getting the range numbers than Vans publishes.
