Just recieved the Dynon back from Dynon which they replaced with a new one. 

Did engine start today and due to a few reasons I had to run the engine 

longer than I would like. I am not getting the 2700 RPM and I do I 

understand I need to Adjust the governor but my question is can I go flying 

now and Adjusted it after each flight till its right. I realy do not want to 

start the engine again till first flight on Sat weather permiting??

Chris,



If you are getting somewhere near your max RPM on a static run-up,  

then I would recommend flying it first and record your max RPM on  

initial climb-out, then readjust the governor and try it the next  

time.  Your static run-up should get close, but it won't make it all  

the way to full RPM.  If, however, you are only getting 2300 or  

something like that on static, then I would recommend an adjustment of  

the stops on the governor first.  Also, check the RPM with a laser/ 

optical tach so you know that your engine monitor is reading  

correctly.  There are different settings coming from different  

engines, so the engine monitor needs to know how to read correctly.



do not archive
