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.
