Odd situation just occurred. Static runup made rated RPM for several minutes without any issues. Then on runway during takeoff roll lost power by 300-500 RPM. Did 2 minute static again no problem. Back on the runway and lost power by 300-500 RPM again. Again static run 2 minutes no problem. This is on a grass runway. Still scratching my head here.

The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.
The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.
