Guys,
If you Guys are tired of Hiccups I have a new problem that I have
never heard anyone talk about in the KR world. About 4 1/2 hours into the
flight to Florida a couple weeks ago I started getting a vibration. It
would come and go at will, sometimes very light and others times enough
to make the needles shake in the instruments. It would last from a second
to maybe 10 seconds and only happened at airspeeds above 145 mph.
On the way home It became more often but after a while I decided
the plane wasn't falling apart and just kept going. There were stretches
that it didn't happen for a half hour or more. The engine was running
flawlessly-there was absolutely no indication in the instruments. It
feels like it is coming from the front of the plane. I checked the cowl
and front and side wheel pants and they are all tight. There was nothing
visible from the cockpit that was vibrating. The only other thought that
I had was the nose wheel spinning which could be related to speed. I know
that I didn't get real fussy with balance on the front tire when I
changed it last summer.
Any other thoughts or experiences???.
