Climb power on the 28's is 2500RPM, keep an eye out on the temperature and adjust your speed accordingly. ie. Temps creeping up - lower nose a touch and increase speed. If temps keep rising, you might need to reduce a little power and increase the speed by lowering the nose.

On a climb, and once past 1000' AGL, it's always good practice to lower the nose to improve forward visibility and get that extra bit of cool air flowing through the cowel. A cruise climb speed of 90kt is more than enough.

Once you've leveled out at your cruise alt, set 2300rpm/2400rpm and lean as required.
