I had the max RPM set to 2700 RPM initially, but over time it has been declining slowly, to the point that it's about 2640 on climbout now, at 2+ years and 200+ hours. Is that to be expected (i.e. I should just adjust the stop screw) or is this indicative of a problem requiring further investigation? The governor appears normal and in all other respects operates normally.

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. On Tue, Jun 11, 2013 at 1:03 AM, Rob Kermanj wrote: > Plugs good? Timing good?

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. -------- Wayne G.

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. John -------- #40572 Phase One complete and flying.

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.

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. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=402534#402534 ________________________________ Message 13 ____________________________________ Time: 07:12:22 PM PST US Subject: RV10-List: MT Propeller From: "mds4878" Is Lessdrag with Jim Ayers still around?
