JetCat 180 Rx...losing power.
I have a 180Rx installed in a jet that I only fly a few times per year - only on bitumen full-size runways. On my last flight the take-off took a lot longer than I am used to. The flight was fine, but I am getting worried about flying this model again....
Is there a problem with these engines, where they start to lose power over time?

if that (clog) were happening you would see an increase in max pump voltage at max RPM, and if you got so much slime or crud that power was reduced, you would have already hit the max pump limit. You can check all of that with the GSU.
This is why I have always strongly recommended to check your max pump voltage after every flight, you will see the trends of a clogged filter coming over several flights.
