Small fluctuations are likely quite normal, especially if you have a
fixed pitch prop. Even with a constant speed prop there will be
occasional 10 to 20 rpm fluctuations as the prop governor reacts to
gusts, etc.
Do you have a fixed pitch or constant speed prop? How large
fluctuations are you seeing?

Sorry if I am coming too late to the conversation to know what's going on,
but:
If it is a digital tach, it must have some kind of cut-off range or range
that it will ignore the change within. If that were 1 rpm and the digital
numbers went to the nearest 1 rpm, I would think it would be constantly
changing back and forth between different numbers, so I would think they
would program it to the nearest 5 rpm or 10 rpm or 20 rpm; whatever gives
you what you need to know without constantly changing; and that you would
see 1710 rpm or 1720 rpm or whatever, but never 1712 rpm or 1718 rpm. Maybe
yours doesn't have a wide enough dead band to keep from jumping around, or
maybe that it meets their design criteria but not yours. Could the sender's
resolution be different from the display?

Which one of these two greases is better suited for use in wheel bearings. From
the site, it looks like #5 but in my plans, Vans says to use #6...
Or is there something better altogether?

I'm no where that far along in the build process..........but, for
grins, I own a Mooney M20E which is 1644 lbs empty, 2575 gross, and it
specifies Aeroshell #5 for wheel bearings. #6 is lighter. I've had it in
Phoenix for 10 years, with no issues on the wheel bearings using #5.
Given our dry heat, I'd be inclined to use #5 unless I got a very good
explanation why #6 was recommended.

| Subject: | Re: Engine monitor question.. |
With a fixed pitch prop, if the throttle and mixture settings are
fixed, the engine rpm will depend on the airspeed and altitude. But,
there are always small variations in airspeed and altitude, and that
leads to small variations in rpm. Those variations occur no matter what
type of engine instruments you have, but they are much harder to see on
old steam gauges.
What you are seeing sounds very normal.
