August 8, 200718 yr Switched a cylinder prop plane to a turbo prop plane. All works well, but when I'm in a level cruise and my speed has stablized, the RMP needles go wonky. They twitch rapidly from over what I've set to under what I've set. Any one else had this trouble with any model? Might give me a clue where to poke it next... :)
August 8, 200718 yr My immediate "first try" would be a different RPM gauge, just in case it's a coding issue in the gauge you're using, but I've no experience with turboprops per-se, so this is just a guess.Good luck.
August 9, 200718 yr I did, but no good.The gauge I am using is from the King Air, so it's a default gauge...
August 14, 200718 yr Look at prop_tc and prop_moi.Try prop_tc values between 0.002 and 0.005. Adjust Prop MOI based on the simplistic formula:Prop MOI = (0.6/386) * prop weight (lbs) * Prop Diam (ft) ^ 2
