Constant speed prop question
I just changed the prop on my glastar from a fixed pitch sensenich prop pitched more on the climb side for a hartzell constant speed prop. I have an io320b1a 160hp. My question surrounds the climb performance. While I have a minor adjustment to make on the governor to up the toms from 2610 to hit 2700, the climb performance of my plane is way down. I regularly saw 9-1400 fpm and now the most I can manage is 5-600fpm. The cruise is improved but I could have improved the cruise and sacrificed the climb by have my fixed pitch changed for a cruise pitch. Could that 90rpm adjustment make that much difference? What am I missing, this is really disappointing.Todd
