Hello,
I wanted to share my maintenance hangar report.
My engine and airframe are now at 231.9h. It will only produce some 2100 rpm at 30" MP during runup.
With the last update I had a hard time starting the engine yesterday.
What's your experience with the Mustang at higher engine hours?
Regards
Jens

Re: Collecting hours...
Are you sure your prop lever is all the way forward? Is the only reason it should be limited to 2100rpm at 30mp. I have 248ish hours on my P-51civ and she is running just fine. Minus hyd leak, engine leak, worn brakes/hyd pump/generator/oil filter/fuel filter/air filter she flies just great. From your maintenance hangar don't really see anything wrong to cause your problem. You might have one or two that are completely shot is the only other thing I can think of.

Maybe the seven cylinders in the 50 compression test range cause the lower rpm. the prop lever is full forward and on takeoff power settings the engine produces 3000 rpm.

Re: Collecting hours...
I wouldn't think that it is the 7 50psi cylinders. As I have cylinders that are in the yellow on my warbird P-51 and it doesn't have any perceivable issues. I normally during the instrument and mag checks just keep advancing the throttle till I get 2300RPM without looking at the MP gauge, but next time I fly I will look. Certainly seems like a strange issue though. Without flying the plane on your system myself though would be difficult to tell you if there is anything wrong or not.
