Odd situation just occurred. Static runup made rated RPM for several minutes without any issues. Then on runway during takeoff roll lost power by 300-500 RPM. Did 2 minute static again no problem. Back on the runway and lost power by 300-500 RPM again. Again static run 2 minutes no problem. This is on a grass runway. Still scratching my head here.
