In a lycoming at 8,000' full throtle is 2700 (redline). The VW im guessing would be about 3000 unless you have a low pitch prop.

I have heard from one person that full throttle at 8,000' is about 75% power and that sounds about right to me, but is RPM at full throttle at 8,000' the same as it will be at 75% power at other altitudes? I assume not since data I have seen for certified planes has different RPM settings for different altitudes. > > > > _______________________________________________ > see KRnet list details at http://www.krnet.org/instructions.html >
