I have recently bought a Rocket and would like some advice on climbing to altitude. I start off at full everything, and then after 1000 feet or two drop back to a manifold pressure of 35 and 2500 RPM. Even though I leave the mixture full rich and cowl flaps open, of course, I still find my hotest cylinder creeping above 380 and near 400 at a speed of 120 kts. Sometimes, perhaps I’ve gone a little slower than 120 kts. I end up having to speed up to 130 kts to get the temperatures to drop a bit, and my climbing rate plummets to about 600 ft./min. I am wondering what other people do. I am not sure that reducing from full throttle and full RPM actually runs any cooler, but it’s what I was taught. Thanks!

STUMPED! In my F, I have the Aspen PRO 1000 glass, STEC 50 autopilot, and the GTN 650. All turns associated with holding patterns, and RNAV approaches are only made at half of the standard rate, NOT full rate. I have found discussions about this in some other forums, but I have yet to find the magic setting that determines the rate of turn. Anyone else have this issue, and what solved it? Gain setting on the Aspen? Defecting turn coordinator? Setting on the STEC? Thanks

Hey guys some of you know I just bought my M20F, since I have to pay for the gas myself I want to optimize the range and endurance of the plane while still getting a good cruise speed out of it. I was wondering what your guys recommended settings would be for that??
