Cruising Speed vs WOT RPMs

Re: Cruising Speed vs WOT RPMs

One variable was that I had it in for it's first service (20 hrs) just prior to the run with the new prop. Can't imagine anything they could have done that would cause this though.

I think I would put the old prop back on and retest. If the numbers are still down, then the 20 hr service I would be looking at.

OBTW Nice Mooney, what year is that.

It's a 1962 and better than when it was new. I agree on retrying with the old prop.

flybuddy,
After the retest, start a new thread and post your numbers, as tailgunner suggested.

Put alot of time in a 69 Mooney, sweet ride.
