Hey guys,
Last week, I pre-flighted my piper fine and lined up for take off. I gently added full power. The RPM was set to 2500 and did not move above that. Airspeed was alive and at 60, I rotated. After few minutes at full throttle still, RPM moved to 2550.
In the past, all the time I have seen the needle to move to the max RPM (i think 2700).
Any ideas what could be wrong. Btw it was very hot that day (97 degrees).
TIA
