I have just conducted the first flight of my RV-9A. (Thank you Larry New for all your assistance!)
During runup, static RPM was low (about 2050 RPM). During takeoff and climb she was only producing 2300 RPM but airspeed and climb rate were acceptable, so the flight was continued. In level flight she reached 2400 RPM and 135KIAS at "full throttle".
I have two ideas about why this occurred, but I am seeking whatever thoughts or suggestions to remedy the low RPM issue.
What say you, Brother Aviators?
Specs:
0-320-D1A with Sensenich Fixed Pitch Prop (mid-pitch - neither climb nor cruise)
