static rpm
in 912 / 914 Technical Questions
8 years ago
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 ?
