Jack,
  I concur with Syd.  Just opening the windows on the Ercoupe (it is 
certified either way) changes air speed indication.  Static/Ram pressure
ratio is what is measured, and the static source is the cockpit!
  I had thought my `coupe was a 90 MPH airplane.  Then I got into the 
Willamette Valley after flying it up from New Mexico, and I got more
speed with less RPM!
  Yes, the climb prop could be holding speed down.  Yes, props are 
"repitched" without changing the imprinted numbers.  Lotsa luck
  Percy
