Hello;
I should know this, but am deferring to the experts.
regarding static rpm, with all other things being equal, if I performed a max static rpm runup on a 30 deg f day, and then did the same max static rpm runup on a 90 deg f day, which would yield the greater rpm ?. I know the engine will develop more horsepower on the cold day, but isn't it also more difficult to swing the prop through that cold thick air ?
RV-12, 912uls, elsa build.

thx

    The difference might be there, but it most likely will be too small to worry about.
