2000 Max RPM at full throttle

Post by geauxken09 »

After complete overhaul, a/c is unable to acheive full RPM at full throttle. 2000 RPM is max, which will get me airborne, but with limited climb.

What's your weather and airport elevation?

Yes I would either guess carb icing or mixture to rich due to high elevation.

95F and two pax w/full fuel @ 1022 elevation. I have installed the update and now it LEAPS into the air under same conditions. Should have done this before making my enquiry. Thanks for the ideas, however. Love this airplane! Used to fly the same real one and it brings back some nice memories!

So after running the updater everything was fine? That's great! Remember to check in the forums from time to time for a new updater. And the simulation is very in depth so if you have powerloss it's often associated to carb icing or fouled spark plugs or something the like. Just like in the real one :wink:

Happy flying
