Someone with 150 hp and a cruise prop might not be able to generate a whole
lot of rpm and therefore power at that altitude. It goes back to the
compromises you make with a fixed pitch prop. Also, it depends on how
heavily loaded the RV-6 was. I list my 160 hp, fixed pitch RV-6's gross
weight at 1675 lb, and the climb and altitude performance really suffer with
the last 50 lbs or so.
