Default RE: ZDZ 80 Not developing expected RPM
Keep in mind a 26x10 is alot of prop for an 80, especially a wood prop.
We now carry the ZM 26x10 carbon prop which is awesome on the 80. It will free it up and get it up into the power band. Yes, heat is bad. Especially if it is 97F ambient. Please monitor CHT. It should not be above 230F max.
Keep me posted.
Thanks,
