Take off is 48 inches and 2700 RPM ( Rotate at 72 Knots )

Climb is thirty five inches and 2300 RPM.

With a heavy fuel load we use thirty inches and 2050 RPM and as fuel burn brings the all up weight down ( about three hours after take off ) we gradually reduce manifold pressure to 27 inches....providing we can maintain the desired IAS.

If it falls on its ass because of to low a power setting you have to get it above the cruise height slightly and put the nose down to regain A.S.....

It is something like flying a cement mixer........

That lesson will be...............lets see 300 Euros per. hour for dual...hmmmm ..............13.00 Euros gang..
