I got a color model from Harbor Freight that was on sale plus I had one of their
20% off coupons. Very handy in several ways. HF has stepped up their quality
on several types of items of late, (although they still sell junk as well.)
I'm very impressed with this unit for what it ended up costing. (About $65 as I
recall)

investigation? The governor appears normal and in all other respects
operates normally. Thanks...

Excellent suggestions. Governor and prop settings rarely drift around. Lack
of rpm usually means some loss of power, which usually implies either fuel
or air are restricted or not fired at exactly the right time. Usual
suspects are fouled plug(s), timing has drifted(normal with points wear),
partially plugged injector, etc.

I think that applies to a fixed pitch prop or CS on the ground. Notice he said
on climbout. As soon as you are rolling down the runway our prop pitch starts
increasing. If he was developing 5% less power, his pitch would just start increasing
later down the runway but should have still reached 2700. If he was developing
less power than that then he should notice MP, FF, EGT and performance
changes too. I usually get about 26.5 gph FF and 1250-1275 EGT's and on takeoff.
I keep pictures on my I pad/I phone of climb and cruise numbers from my 1st flights
and occassionally after to reference back to. This will help me to troubleshoot
if things slowly change. I also wrote all numbers down during most phase
1 flights.

I bought one a few years ago from Snap-On. It works great, but does go through
the batteries. One caution in the instructions that probably applies to all of
them - don't get petroleum products on the mineral lens. Since going through
a spark plug hole almost guarantees that, I always have a clean dry rag to clean
the lens handy.

I have one of the HF cameras, and it will be OK for looking under your floor plans
to find tools and hardware, but it doesn't have the resolution to see much
detail. As others have mentioned, it wont fit through a plug hole, so don't plan
on using it as a boroscope. I tried the Costco camera, and found it very similar
to the HF. Also tried 3 of the cheapy Chinese dental cameras; focal length
and optics were terrible on all 3.
While watching one of the Mike Busch webinars, I noticed a picture of the high
end dental camera he uses for boroscoping engines. Originally about $7,000, I
found one on eBay for $280. They currently list several in the $200-250 range.
It is outstanding; great optics, high resolution, excellent color, and it fits
easily through a spark plug hole. Comes with a 7 ft. cable, so you could even
do colonoscopies in your spare time. I hook it to a 7" led battery powered TV
I found on Amazon for $70. The combo gives me amazing picture quality. If I
want a permanent record for condition inspections, or to send a copy to someone,
I connect it to my laptop.
Search for Acucam UltraCam II. More money than the HF/Costco cameras, but much
more useful.

What prep or cleaning solvent could/should be used on the Vans primed QB parts
before spraying the final coat? Does it need to be scuffed before painting?

You need to talk with your painter or paint manufacturer. It is likely that they
want you to apply their recommended primer before their final coat. They will
also tell you what to do as far as surface prep prior to applying their primer.
