Paul of Aero-Siam asked me about my static rpm. I had not checked mine until this morning. I'm running the 80 hp 912UL with 63" three-blade Woodcomp prop. This morning my static rpm was 4,940 and the good brakes were able to hold it but just barely. This was with no wind, a headwind would have increased the number and a tail wind would have decreased the rpm. With this static rpm, the airplane reaches 5,500 rpm with wide open throttle in flight.
I'm curious as to others' static rpm with various engine/prop combinations and max engine rpm at wide open throttle in flight.
