The Last Frontier
2nd to last flight: run up, mag drop, carb heat, op etc all normal. Idle and climb out rpm normal. Normal as in same numbers for this plane last 6+ years.
Last flight: run up, mag drop and op all normal. Carb heat only drops 50. I depart, reach altitude and notice the position of the throttle is straight up(mid throw)at cruise instead of about a 1/4" ahead of the window trim. Additionally, full power typical climb out she is showing 2600 rpm where before 2450-2475 was the norm. On the other end, she will now happily idle just over 600 where before 750 was the norm.
Hmmm, precautionary landing, all checks out. I thought the cable may have slipped but it was tight. Motor runs great, never missed a beat.
It all sounds bassackwards to me. Fire away your opinions!
