Cruise at wide open throttle above 8000 feet sounds like alot of things

are

wrong! Wait a minute maybe a fixed pitched prop could do that. I'm not

use to

that. One of the best advantages to using a rotary engine would be a

variable

pitch prop. Skip

Same for a constant speed prop! WOT 70% power at 8,000 feet roughly.
Manifold pressure down around 22 inches of Hg.
The RPM can be set on almost whatever.

The RPM will also be down I think for a fixed pitch prop
although I don't fly those very often.

Tracy, Ed, Finn, Chuck, Ken, Perry  what are you seeing at 8K WOT?
