Hi all,
I just bought a just finished RV3 and I started the test flights.
After some trimming to make it flying straight, I am trying to get all the speed it should give me.
Engine: O-320 150 Hp
Propeller: Ed Sterba 68x76 wood
At 2000 ft I can get a modest TAS of 132 Kts, full throttle and full rich.
The propeller turns at 2540 RPM.
No way to get 2700 RPM...
In the incoming days I will check magneto timing and throttle...
Any suggestion is welcome!
