Hi All,

I am somewhat surprised that you can get the same airspeed with only about a 5% difference in rpm - sounds like my initial assumption that  a higher rpm (and fuel burn)would be required to get the same airspeed is not valid.

  Since horsepower is a function of torque and rpm, if the Renesis puts out 5% more torque at a given rpm, it should also yield 5% more ponies ... if one has the prop to use them.

Just a thought,
