Hi All,
For the record I've had a nasty vibration creeping into a good flight at 3000 revs in a 912 uls rotax engine with 1066 revs on the clock. It began to also sound a little rough at idle, but 3000 was the magic number.
After consultation with fellow listers and doing the carb balancing, prop inspecting and re-pitching finally sent gearbox away for inspection.
New matched gears installed, and I am glad to report that we are running sweetly again at all revs!
Thanks to all those who gave meaningful advice once again.. you know who you are.. much appreciated.
All the best for 2013, and safe flying!
cheers
Geoff Bell
