I would think that the Archer fixed pitch prop would be calibrated
differently. To get 65% on a standard day at 8000 ft requires ~2480 RPM.


Why? Do the Archer's engine components wear less at high RPM than an
engine on an Arrow?


Yes they probably do wear less. They are under less load for the given
circumstance. Cylinder pressures are much higher in an engine at 65%
power 2300 RPM than they are at 65% 2480 RPM.
