Hi All,
I just started flying my RV-7 (first flight was on Sunday 12/02). It flies great except for a little issue I'm having with (I think) the prop governor. At certain speeds the RPM's vary by up to 100 up and down from where the prop is set. it smooths out after a while and flies just fine but when I change power, off it goes again. Anyone had anything like this happen? The governor is an MT from Van's. The only real advice I've had thus far is "pull it off and send it back to van"s". As I'm only about 7 hours on the plane now the idea of taking the plane down for a month while Van's gets around to shipping me a new one is not too appealing.
Just wondering if there is anything I'm missing.
Thanks,
Mark
