Default Practice for OSH Arrival NOW, please!

In a previous article, Jay Honeck said:
Did you play with prop settings at all? I found it easier to maintain
90 knots with the prop full forward, but I don't like red-lining the
engine for that long. I eventually settled on 2300 RPM, which meant
very low MP, probably around 15 to 17 inches.


I tend the leave the prop at 2300 all the time, because our club charges
by a 2400 rpm "tach hour". I don't think there is any harm in running at
a low MP.

Some days violence is just a nice quick solution to a problem that
would need thought, planning and actual work to do justice to.
