I know this thread has been beat to death but I am old and still confused! In Mike Bush's webinars and seminars I understood him to say that once at cruise to set the prop at the lowest RPM possible and firewall the throttle to the highest MP that you can get. My RV is fixed pitch and does not apply but I just had a second instructor In a Comanche 250 that I own a share of say to set it at 24 squared and never let the MP be higher than RPM. the operating handbook offers many different pitch and power settings at different altitudes, so who is right?
