Quick question (about weather conditions during the Nat's)
Posted: Tue Jun 29, 2021 5:36 pm
I'm not asking for advice or numbers, I'm just wondering if anybody else noticed a change in the weather conditions on Friday at the Nat's. Seems the weather prior to Friday was pretty good (regarding engine performance), but on Friday, specifically between the preliminaries and the finals (or a few rounds into the finals) the weather went to crap (density altitude increased) and engine performance changed (decreased).
I probably should have switched to a smaller prop or lowered the head. In fact, I switched to my 3rd backup for the final round and had lowered the head prior and seemed to get a good run again.
Just wondering if it was just me, or if others noticed the same thing.
Thanks.
