I have to say I use typically 5000-5200 revs and
also I am not shy to use constant 5500 rpm.
When low, it shows if I want a manifold pressure
30-31 In hg A (912S).
Typically my MAP is around 25.
BTW earlier Rotax allowed all the combinations
with revs and MAP but I understood they have now
limited that revs must be then 5000 rpm or more.
My long time (over 200 hrs) average fuel burn is
17,7 l/hrs.
I have to say - it is a totally different bird
after she got a CS-prop (Airmaster - I am very
happy about it).
Before it 125@4800 was the name of the game too (I
had Warp Blades but do not remember the blade
angles, first 17 degrees, then maybe 19-20
degrees).

About Ban Bis /Dyn Aeros: is not it strange that
they advertice their cruise speed is fast than
their VNE ???
Dyn Aero 4S is also interesting; they claim it is
faster (AND lighter as empty) than typical Europa
with same engine and four adults omboard.
But the real miracle will be their new Twin-R -
two Rotaxes but it will fly happily with one
engine only...

About wife and escaping: That is true. This time
she was too tired to escape. I have to say this
was very first time ever including commercial
flights I have seen her sleeping (attached).
Finally I and our Europa have earned her full
confidence.

Raimo,
I'm afraid my bird cannot compete to that numbers.
Tango India isn't slow (about 125 KIAS at 4800
RPM, don't ask me for MP, burning approximately 20
litres) but it is a Trigear albeit equipped with
speed kit. So you'll have to search further but
maybe rather in the Ban Bi community.
I understand your Europa is also powered by the
Rotax 914, right?
Don't worry about your wife - there are other
reasons keeping her from escaping your plane at
160 kts at 10 k ft - you won't need a pip pin for
that.
