Default Fluctuating rpm - governor problem
I am 5 hours into testing a new rv7a. O-320, new Hartzell c/s. Set to 24 square for cruise and the rpm periodically drops to 2350 for about 15 seconds and then recovers. The pitch change is audible so it isn?t a gauge issue. Original static rpm (first flight) was 2700, now 2600. Any thoughts?

Thanks, Laurie

New MT governor has solved my propeller issues. Back to flying perfectly as expected.
