The 7300 rpm test was at 1500 ft. IAS was bouncing (rough air) around
224 and the EM2 TAS was showing 235 but I have not calibrated the TAS function
yet. Its probably on the optimistic side. Or maybe oil on the belly
makes me go faster : )
From memory, I have not had the Renesis over 6000 ft nor have I even
attempted to measure maximum speed above 2000 ft.

LOL. Better luck with the next "fix" :-)
BTW,
when you report these high rpm tests, and high TAS numbers, what altitude are
you flying at? Are you actually able to run 7300 rpm at 8000 feet, or is
it much closer to sea level? So far, I haven't been able to get over
6600 rpm between 5000 and 8000 feet. I suspect that will come up
some when I finish cleaning up the worst of the drag
problems.
