Don,
You're saying with your 7150 prop you climbed out at 2575 rpm? That's
not possible. Either your prop is incorrectly stamped or your
tachometer is way off.

I've got a C85 with 7150 prop (I don't have my log books as I write
this but seem to recall that is what is stamped on it). My buddy was
behind me in his Cessna 150 with an 0-200...not sure of the prop...I
surprised us both by outclimbing him from field altitude 3,650 to
6,500 cruise. I was all the way to the firewall and my tach was
showing 2575 and airspeed was showing +/- 65mph. I was just out of
the 150's visual range when he leveled out. However, it didn't take
him long to catch me once we were both straight and level. In
cruise, I throttled back to 2450 or so and was showing 85 mph. The
150 normally cruises at 2500 but had to pull back to 2000 to keep
from passing me once he caught up.
Fun stuff. I love this airplane!
My sincere thanks to those who got the 415C included in LSA.
Looking forward to meeting my fellow Colorado / Western Kansas
'Coupers at some of the area fly-ins this year.
