Something worked loose and vibrated in the slipstream - a landing light perhaps from your clue

My thoughts would carb related maybe choke, maybe one choke cable slipped causing rich mixture and plugs to foul on one pair of cylinders, or some litter, bag , leaf etc ingested in to air intake, or colapsed air filter in to one carb intake or other ,
But a more simple reason could be:- more simply we are driven mad by a banging flap of plastic on our hanger door in 10 knot + breeze so sugest a flap of some sort, plastic, caught up on some part of the airframe banging in turbulent air at vairious prop speed/ angular settings !

I have hope-so a nice riddle for you.
Maybe all the answers are useful – let´s collect them all:
***
Yesterday I took off from a very remote /small /windy (90 degrees 12 knots and gusting MUCH) grass strip. Soon until well over the ground at altitude +500 feet with full power and 2nd fuel pump still on and gears up I felt suddenly let us say medium or more shake and vibration. My immediate reaction was to go around and land immediately but abandoned because wind was so furious and I felt I cannot do that (a succesful landing).
I decided to try to fly to the next possible sensible airfield EFHV which was 10 minutes apart.
Those minutes were long: I put my prob (Airmaster CS) to manual and drived it from fine to coarse, tried all the power settings and also a 2nd fuel filter. Finally I noticed that when prop was in a climb mode (in my case 5400 rpm /Rotax 912S) and MAP around 20 inches I got quite a comfortable flying mode and I headed straight home. My airspeed was w that selection about 110 knots but because of a strong headwind GS was only about 70 knots (wanted to be clearly over the ground at 3000 ft because it was well over sunset and totally dark, yesterday we got sunset around 1600 Zulutime and time was well over 1630 when flying).
So, I pushed home one looooong hour. All the aerodynamics were well. I was a bit worried my engine will separate or so. When trying to push more pwr it was more vibra and when trying to pull less pwr same. I Followed a main highway and decided to land there if feeling so. Cars there with lights are almost like a lighted runway...
Finally landing to the EFTP flawlesly.
***
Today we had a FHGP (Family Hangar Grill Party). I tried to check my plane as well as I can. I found something. Very small evidence but something anyway. I tried to fix it and had a test run. I elected to go to fly – hey I am a test pilot who else – and She was better than ever!
I managed to do 2 touches and goes when C172 did one with same runway.
140 knots during downwind makes me always happy.
***
So – dear Ladies and Gentlemen – what was wrong?
It would be nice and very life-useful to hear your opinions or guesses what was wrong.
***
The Rules: one single guess per person, please.
The Prize: The Best Guess will get a Very Special Xmas Present from Finland!

I will let you know a solution after a week – be patient.
Have a nice weekend and

Hanna,
are you sure you are Hanna or in fact Tim, Hanna´s dad (who is going to try to win desperately the shipment from Finland) ?
If you really are Hanna; you may try 2nd time, because you are a pilot´s daughter.
Please read my first mail once again carefully: I wrote
“Soon until well over the ground at altitude +500 feet with full power and 2nd fuel pump still on ... “
Notice also, these words below are really essential info, something maybe to do with prop/pwr –settings:
“Those minutes were long: I put my prob (Airmaster CS) to manual and drived it from fine to coarse, tried all the power settings and also a 2nd fuel filter. Finally I noticed that when prop was in a climb mode (in my case 5400 rpm /Rotax 912S) and MAP around 20 inches I got quite a comfortable flying mode and I headed straight home. “

All,
One of you is now really close, physically say 50 mm /2" inches.

Jet,
you may also guess twice (because you are pilot´s
wife):
- notice that shaking and vibration was not
momentary! Every time I tried to change
powersettings up or down, more or less, an awful
trembling came back. Maybe I am a bit sensitive
(for trembling planes!) but that was really
alarming.
- 5400 rpm & 20 inches were in the lowest point of
that vibration curve

Ramio,
Sounds like a throttle cable to one carb was loose causing the spring to
hold full throttle on the carb while you could vary the other as it was
connected properly.

Yesterday I took off from a very remote /small /windy (90 degrees 12 knots and gusting MUCH) grass strip. Soon until well over the ground at altitude +500 feet with full power and 2nd fuel pump still on and gears up I felt suddenly let us say medium or more shake and vibration. My immediate reaction was to go around and land immediately but abandoned because wind was so furious and I felt I cannot do that (a succesful landing).

One of you have guessed the problem was because a broken de-icing rubber in the prop blade. That´s good but unfortunately my Europa is so far still missing de-icing systems totally. They would be soon very useful in Finland.

Â
I have hope-so a nice riddle for you.
Â
Maybe all the answers are useful – let´s collect them all:
Â
***
Â
Yesterday I took off from a very remote /small /windy (90 degrees 12 knots and gusting MUCH) grass strip. Soon until well over the ground at altitude +500 feet with full power and 2nd fuel pump still on and gears up I felt suddenly let us say medium or more shake and vibration. My immediate reaction was to go around and land immediately but abandoned because wind was so furious and I felt I cannot do that (a succesful landing).
Â
I decided to try to fly to the next possible sensible airfield EFHV which was 10 minutes apart.
Â
Those minutes were long: I put my prob (Airmaster CS) to manual and drived it from fine to coarse, tried all the power settings and also a 2nd fuel filter. Finally I noticed that when prop was in a climb mode (in my case 5400 rpm /Rotax 912S) and MAP around 20 inches I got quite a comfortable flying mode and I headed straight home. My airspeed was w that selection about 110 knots but because of a strong headwind GS was only about 70 knots (wanted to be clearly over the ground at 3000 ft because it was well over sunset and totally dark, yesterday we got sunset around 1600 Zulutime and time was well over 1630 when flying).
Â
So, I pushed home one looooong hour. All the aerodynamics were well. I was a bit worried my engine will separate or so. When trying to push more pwr it was more vibra and when trying to pull less pwr same. I Followed a main highway and decided to land there if feeling so. Cars there with lights are almost like a lighted runway...
Â
Finally landing to the EFTP flawlesly.
Â
***
Â
Today we had a FHGP (Family Hangar Grill Party). I tried to check my plane as well as I can. I found something. Very small evidence but something anyway. I tried to fix it and had a test run. I elected to go to fly – hey I am a test pilot who else – and She was better than ever!
Â
I managed to do 2 touches and goes when C172 did one with same runway.
Â
140 knots during downwind makes me always happy.
Â
***
Â
So – dear Ladies and Gentlemen – what was wrong?
Â
It would be nice and very life-useful to hear your opinions or guesses what was wrong.
Â
***
Â
The Rules: one single guess per person, please.
Â
The Prize: The Best Guess will get a Very Special Xmas Present from Finland!
Â
***
Â
I will let you know a solution after a week – be patient.
Â
Have a nice weekend and

Raimo,
I don't know if you use tapes to seal any of the flying surfaces but if so, I suspect one might have come unstuck.
Cheers

Hanna,
are you sure you are Hanna or in fact Tim, Hanna´s dad (who is going to try to win desperately the shipment from Finland) ?
If you really are Hanna; you may try 2nd time, because you are a pilot´s daughter.
Please read my first mail once again carefully: I wrote
“Soon until well over the ground at altitude +500 feet with full power and 2nd fuel pump still on ... “
Notice also, these words below are really essential info, something maybe to do with prop/pwr –settings:

Hello this is Françoise, Luc's wife.
Could it be something that obstructed the airflow to the airbox in an intermittent manner ? Such as a leaf flapping ?
I assume that now, as all spouses, I do get a 2nd chance... I will use it soon...
Regards from Montreal,
Françoise, Luc and little Iris...

Could be Trev. One carb on fixed power and the other on variable therefore only smooth at one power setting. Must have been a glide approach when you got home Raimo?

Those minutes were long: I put my prob (Airmaster CS) to manual and drived it from fine to coarse, tried all the power settings and also a 2nd fuel filter. Finally I noticed that when prop was in a climb mode (in my case 5400 rpm /Rotax 912S) and MAP around 20 inches I got quite a comfortable flying mode and I headed straight home. My airspeed was w that selection about 110 knots but because of a strong headwind GS was only about 70 knots (wanted to be clearly over the ground at 3000 ft because it was well over sunset and totally dark, yesterday we got sunset around 1600 Zulutime and time was well over 1630 when flying).
So, I pushed home one looooong hour. All the aerodynamics were well. I was a bit worried my engine will separate or so. When trying to push more pwr it was more vibra and when trying to pull less pwr same. I Followed a main highway and decided to land there if feeling so. Cars there with lights are almost like a lighted runway...
Finally landing to the EFTP flawlesly.
***
Today we had a FHGP (Family Hangar Grill Party). I tried to check my plane as well as I can. I found something. Very small evidence but something anyway. I tried to fix it and had a test run. I elected to go to fly – hey I am a test pilot who else – and She was better than ever!
I managed to do 2 touches and goes when C172 did one with same runway.
140 knots during downwind makes me always happy.
***
So – dear Ladies and Gentlemen – what was wrong?
It would be nice and very life-useful to hear your opinions or guesses what was wrong.

Raimo,
I think that Graham is very close. I was thinking that on advancing the throttle only one carb was advancing, that's why it ran better at low throttle setting and with a light load (high rpm setting on prop). One cable kinked in the throttle box so only one carb advanced.

Or one of the springs that open the throttles come off - it only took 2 seconds to fix remember, and was quite visible. I think the springs come off quite easily.

Dear Graham,
that was a good one. But is was not reality this time: when I took power off during a long and high final, it was really off.
So it was a glide abroach but only because I wanted so (and the engine was idling).

Could be Trev. One carb on fixed power and the other on variable therefore only smooth at one power setting. Must have been a glide approach when you got home Raimo?

are you sure you are Hanna or in fact Tim, Hanna´s dad (who is going to try to win desperately the shipment from Finland) ?
If you really are Hanna; you may try 2nd time, because you are a pilot´s daughter.
Please read my first mail once again carefully: I wrote
“Soon until well over the ground at altitude +500 feet with full power and 2nd fuel pump still on ... “
Notice also, these words below are really essential info, something maybe to do with prop/pwr –settings:

One of you have guessed the problem was because a broken de-icing rubber in the prop blade. That´s good but unfortunately my Europa is so far still missing de-icing systems totally. They would be soon very useful in Finland.

No one has so far found a reason for my vibra.
So there are still a possibility to get an Xmas packet from Finland.
