Just bought an RV-9A w/ O-320-D2A.
Seller stated it trued-out at 8,000ft at 140kts and 7.5gph.
Everywhere I've looked indicates this is at least 5kts and more like 10kts slower than most folks report.
So, I took it up to 8000ft, leaned it out, and checked ground speed in 3 cardinal directions.
Sure enough, it came out to 140kts and 7.5gph.
Just had a condition inspection, and everything appears to be rigged properly.
Any ideas what could cause this?
Thanks for your help!
