to lean as you climb--. Leaning to a Target EGT as we
recommend
works very, very well. If you're interested in that method,

Walter,
LOL because:
I don't have Power Point. The "free" sample will have to remain a
mystery for now.
But to your power point (I think), that's exactly how I lean in climb,
to a target EGT. That is to say, very shortly after takeoff I look at
the WOT, 2700 RPM, full rich EGT on my cyl #4 (hottest CHT by 10-20 degrees) -
usually about 1290. Later on, when power has been reduced by a prop
reduction to 2600 RPM and also reduced by altitude, I lean to raise
the EGT back to 1290. Another 2000 (+ or -) feet of climb, lean to
1290, etc. etc............... Is that what you meant? Or, am I wrong again
(this year's total is growing at a rapid pace)?
If I had 2 or 4 more cylinders, I would probably just go take the
course.
