The Ghost of Andy Granatelli Tuned My Airplane!
Friday, one of my partners and I changed the oil. Afterwards, we took it up
for a spin to reward ourselves. As I rotated, I glanced down at the tach and was rather horrified. Redline on the Archer is 2,700 RPM. We were turning 3,300! 600 RPM over redline. Huh?! Since we still had the full length of both prop blades, the only logical explanations are either that someone put a different prop on in the dead of night, or that someone sneaked up and hopped up the Lycoming. We have to be getting 240 hp to see that much overreving on climbout. Wow. Thanks, phantom tuner. What a nice guy... Oh crap! The rate of climb isn't any different. We've ordered a new tach. -- Bob (Chief Pilot, White Knuckle Airways)
