 Posted: Fri Mar 13, 2020 7:14 pm Post subject: Control Stick Vibration |
 |
|
Does anyone else notice any vibration in their control stick? I haven't paid much attention in climb or descent, but during cruise I notice a slight pulsation in my control stick. It seems to be a bit stronger at higher power settings, and less at lower power. I'm assuming it is pulsations from the prop hitting the elevator, since the prop wash shouldn't hit the ailerons, and the rudder isn't connected to the stick. The question is whether I should have some concern, and what might be any corrective measure?

Another RV10 guy here had the same slight stick pulsating in cruise, consensus was that depending on loading the elevator horn (balance weight) is exposed to the airflow over the top. He taped over the lightening holes that are exposed at the end of the horizontal and found a reduction in the stick movement, again the consensus was that turbulence over the horn interacted with the lightening holes. I closed off those holes right from the start with tight fitting rubber auto plugs and have had the same result. Now 540hours in four years. Cheers from Western Australia
