Somebody was asking about power settings for the Mustang on cross countries

[DHenriques_]

Sorry I missed the post until now but if still of interest;
The general consensus based on my own experience and checking with other 51 operators I know for general cross country would suggest an altitude between 14 and 19k that should do fine. You can use several power settings. One operator I checked with uses 36 inches and 2300RPM and that gives him 67-68 gph fuel flow. It is possible to go back to low blower above the cut in altitude using the settings suggested here and reduce engine wear and gain a bit of range. You should be watching the coolant and oil temps closely if you do this however.
Hope this helps some.
