On a standard day (rare in Florida) I might see 5000 - 5100. But normally
4900 - 4950.
So let me get
this straight, you're using a carb, and have low compression, have 3
more inches of pitch, and are still getting 100-200 more static rpm
than me??? Good thing I don't have a gas oven to stick my head in
:-)
My climb rate seems
to be influenced by amount of fuel I carry. Difference between 5 and 15 gallons
is significant.
This is a
good point, and may explain why I only got 1300 fpm the other day (completely
topped off), when I was getting 1500 with the Warp (fuel level
unknown). I'm almost afraid to ask, but what sort of climb rate do
you get?
Did you get my prop numbers
from Clark? The original numbers were 68x74. Not sure what it is now.
I had these
numbers from before, but have not asked Clark. He did tell me that Tracy's
old prop started out as a 70x73, then was modified to 68x71. Did
you ask for more rpm when you sent it back for final tuning? If
so, you are certainly at less than 74" pitch
now.
Thanks,
Rusty (not a
happy guy)
