MANIFOLD PRESSURE
in 912 / 914 Technical Questions
12 years ago
Hello All
I am trying to find out what the ideal MP would be at high cruise in the KF Vixen with a 912UL. Presently I run at 28+inches at 5/5300 RPM. I set the IFA prop for 5500+ in level flight, then add a hair more pitch and pull the throttle back an inch or so to give me 5000+RPM.
Everything runs smoothly,no heat issues, plug color is right on.
I cannot get MP much pressures lower unless I run at well under 5000.
Are there any issues with operating this way?? Does MP mean very much on a 912?? Comments and experience requested.
Cheers
Don
