This is some good recommendations... however everything just came back from Ralph with his stamp of approveal. The post clearly states that the problems started when it got more hot and humid.
Yep...hotter more humid air raises your density altitude. Fewer air molecules in any given volume of air.

Meaning air pressure goes down...making the engine more reliant on what...well, gee...pulse pressure perhaps?

Just sayin...just because something fits the facts doesn't mean it's the only answer or solution.



I hear you and agree.. it's not always obvious. I just think because it was just at Ralph's (I am assuming he knew about the issue and checked it) it was checked.

Either way... tons of good info here.. Poor Zippy will be checking things all night

Although I might almost bet tomorrow's flying will be trouble free
