I recommend you move your question to the 701 Forum, it may get more views and thus more responses.  I would start by setting pitch at the minimum recommended by the propeller manufacturer for the engine to achieve a static RPM of X,XXX then test fly and adjust from there.  Also a lot of good information on this topic at Rotaxowner.com. Remember the better your cruise performance the lower your takeoff and climb performance, and your 701 is so draggy there’s a point where you just won’t be able to cruise any faster regardless of adding another hundred rpm.
