Interesting...

At 20 GPH total that is about 55% - 60% power LOP?

What MP, RPM etc do you set?

What do you get for average Indicated airspeed, at what altitude?

Mine is an RSTOL T337D.

A mechanic who used to maintain a bunch of them, including mine at the time,
told me my RSTOL flew noticeably more nose down at higher cruise than similar.

I have spent so much time (2,000 hrs) on shorter trips (<2 hrs mostly),
lower down (from 9k down to 'at or below 500'),
at so many power configs,
none stands out as optimal for long legs.

A few 3-4 hr trips at 11-12k, briefly higher (14k), for passenger (wife) comfort.

One of these days when I have nothing else to do....
I will record an actual performance table for my turbo RSTOL

Anyone else ever compared to 'book' for a turbo RSTOL?
