Full throttle, I never see the higher hp. rpms 2550-2800.
I would like to get more of a climb pitch prop I guess is what I'm saying.
In my mind, if I can reach VNE and max rpm. at the same time (which neither one of those I want to be at) then I'll have a good combo of climb and cruise.
I definitely value other opinions from you guys with more experience with IO240s though.
Any thoughts?
