COLLEGE STATION, TX
I'm curious to hear from some experienced A&P mechanics who know these little engines well, their thoughts about cruise power settings on the C90. The power chart shows 75% power around 2250 rpm which is barely half throttle in cruise. You hear some guys who act like they are have special information from Continental say run it wide open, all the time and you won't hurt it. I'm curious what the general consensus is if fuel burn is not an issue. 2450 gives you a nice 100 mph in level flight so that doesn't suck but on the chart that's 90 percent power right? It it is running cool is that ok? Looking for some feedback.
