Art,

We have a few things going for us in our aircraft, compared to a=20 C172. We have excess power and we don't need to climb out at a=20 maximum performance Vy.

I start the takeoff roll with the mixture pulled out about 1 1/2"=20 inches. After I get established in the climb, pull the RPM back to 255= 0, I=20 lean to about 150 degrees ROP and climb out at about 120 kts. My CHTs=20= are=20 in the upper 300's.

If I'm a little too rich, I burn some extra fuel, lose a little power,=20= but=20 I'm not operating at a maximum performance, short field, Vy takeoff=20 anyway. I'm only getting about 80% power on the takeoff roll, so 150-2= 50=20 ROP by guessing is very practical for me.
