Now the oil pressure is 80 lbs at full throttle and only drops to 50 @ 800 rpm when fully warmed up and on the ground is as strong and steady as you could want. Even fast taxing back and forth is is fine. But when I am flying what happens is when I pull back the throttle the oil pressure fluctuates considerably. It only happens in the air when I pull back the throttle and the prop is braking. Now on the ground I can't reproduce it and all is normal, only in the air when the prop braking can I reproduce it. Another thing I noticed is that it will not go to 2700 but only about 2600 and I adjusted it out but no effect. The prop is an AEIO360 special with a front mounted governor and the prop is a new Whirlwind 200c Any ideas?
