I would definitely set the blades to the recommended spec. and start from
there. Then check the prop governor fine pitch stop limit. See if you can
adjust the stop further out to gain RPM during T.O. What does the spec call
for with regard to RPM during run-up with the prop control moved to full
coarse pitch?

--> Yak-List message posted by: ByronMFox@aol.com
This is a survey.
We're considering offering RPA winged logo customized canopy covers for our
Eastern Block aircraft on the RPA Store site. These will be manufactured by
Bruce's Custom Covers of Sunnyvale, CA. Many of you I know already have had
Bruce's covers on your current or former aircraft. Here's a description from
Bruce's web site. Off-line, please let me know if you would be interested. Pricing
would be in the range of $375.
=E2=80=A2 Canopy and Cabin Covers for Airplanes
Canopy covers keep the cabin interior cool and dry, and they help keep the
plexiglas clean.
Most canopy covers are designed to enclose the windshield, windows and upper
portions of the doors. Some designs extend forward to protect the avionics
bay, access panels or forward baggage doors. Others extend downward to the wing,
while others go back along the tail section.
Details can vary widely for each airplane. Antennae and temperature probe
placements vary widely, and windshield/window modifications sometimes need to be
determined.
Canopy covers are usually made of our special material: Silver Laminate, but
they can be made of Sunbrella=E2=84=A2 if requested.
Silver Laminate is a laminated nylon material made especially for us. The
outer material is a shiny silver-grey Cordura=E2=84=A2 nylon, treated for water
repellency and UV protection. The inner lining is black, lightly brushed knit nylon.
The two materials are permanently bonded together. Silver Laminate is water
repellent, yet breathable. The soft lining prevents plexiglas scratches, and the
Cordura=E2=84=A2 nylon is strong, flexible and durable."

Being curious..... I have to ask:
Have you run the engine to full power with the prop pulled all the way back
(on the ground) and will the RPM stay the same, or does it increase?

Mark,
I've taken it to 2000 rpm on the ground and it responds normally. There is a good
decrease in pitch from fine to course (About a 400-500 drop in rpm) and back
to 2000 when handle is returned to fine pitch. I have not gone to 2350 however.

Joe,
I have not checked the coarse pitch. It will change with the fine pitch. The delta
is determined by a ring at the base of the piston. Factory stuff.
But I believe that I have determined the problem. Craig pointed to the oil pressure
and Doug suggested to use the screen at the base of the prop governor to
check oil pressure. Put the two together and you have a possible area of concern.
If the screen is plugged and the pressure from the gov. is adequate, then
you have in a sense a one way valve. Oil pressure large enough to force it's way
through, but not enough to return. But that doesn't explain why it works on
the ground. The fines in the screen may have time to settle out on the ground.
I'll find out Saturday and post.
Jim

Silver Laminate is a laminated nylon material made especially for us.
The
outer material is a shiny silver-grey Cordura=E2=84=A2 nylon, treated
for water
repellency and UV protection. The inner lining is black, lightly
brushed knit nylon.
The two materials are permanently bonded together. Silver Laminate is
water
repellent, yet breathable. The soft lining prevents plexiglas
scratches, and the
Cordura=E2=84=A2 nylon is strong, flexible and durable."

This is a survey.
We're considering offering RPA winged logo customized canopy covers for
our
Eastern Block aircraft on the RPA Store site. These will be
manufactured by
Bruce's Custom Covers of Sunnyvale, CA. Many of you I know already have
had
Bruce's covers on your current or former aircraft. Here's a description
from
Bruce's web site. Off-line, please let me know if you would be
interested. Pricing
would be in the range of $375.
=E2=80=A2 Canopy and Cabin Covers for Airplanes
Canopy covers keep the cabin interior cool and dry, and they help keep
the
plexiglas clean.
Most canopy covers are designed to enclose the windshield, windows and
upper
portions of the doors. Some designs extend forward to protect the
avionics
bay, access panels or forward baggage doors. Others extend downward to
the wing,
while others go back along the tail section.
Details can vary widely for each airplane. Antennae and temperature
probe
placements vary widely, and windshield/window modifications sometimes
need to be
determined.
Canopy covers are usually made of our special material: Silver
Laminate, but
they can be made of Sunbrella=E2=84=A2 if requested.
