First flight on my S2C after my annual yesterday and somehow my full forward prop rpm has increased into the 2900’s. MT prop with a PCU5000 gov and Horizon digital tach. I noticed it on takeoff and got it back in the green as soon as I left the ground. The prop functions perfectly. It just seems as if someone adjusted the stops but it wasn’t touched. I had the prop balanced and my rpm’s matched the rpm on the laser for the balance computer so I don’t think it’s an indication error. After a 30 min flight, I entered the pattern and set 2700 rpm. I pushed forward a bit more and it still went higher so I just set it at 2700 and left it. I marked the position once I was on the ground so I know where to set it on my next flight. But I’m stumped as to how nothing was touched on the governor and I picked up 250rpm? Any ideas?
thanks,
