Thanks Gary. The video of the red plane was a 912is so yes they will shake to. Nothing much to report yet. We are...

On my first flights, I had a pretty good horizontal stab buffet (stick pulsed) when I put the flaps down and the forum...

Congratulations!

I would recommend Kitfox use a couple of their factory 915/916 powered aircraft and mount a vibration sensor on that...

I like it!

I tried this Trent hack with my IO-240B and it doesn't work well at all with mine. Not really helping lift the tail...

Harlan, Man! We are glad you are still with us! Looking at the space that developed indicates to me that there...

Let's us know how this one turns out, Harlan. I'd be a bit spooked for sure.
