Bud and Bob,
I think Rob wants the fuselage deck angle at VX full power.
Bud mentions "nearly 20 degrees". He needs to suspend the tri gear fuse on t
he ground with minimum fuel
(not sure what that would be) and do a fuel flow check.
Is that correct Rob?

refer 65 Knots on the heavier aircraft for a bit of a margin.

degrees nose down and find you at a speed of 55 or so. Insufficient to make
an immediate flare without a hard landing if power is lost below 100 feet. P
ractice is required.

the engine. I climb for about 1 minute or about 1500 feet of altitude at th
is power setting and angle and check for temps and of course fuel starvation
, oil pressure stability and the like. Then I do it again from takeoff. In 3
000 feet you will easily go through pattern altitude so coordinate with towe
r.
