				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 !

     All
   
  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.

    I have got plenty of good guesses via list and also direct.
    Some of you have hoped I will not publish them with their names and do    not worry I wont´t.
     
    Graham – I /we got an empty message from you – please retype it – I am    sure it will be a good info.
     
    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.
    I quarantee the shipment will be worth of making a good guess.
     
    ***
    Tips: 
     
    - the reason was off /on or black /white –type and very easy to repair;    it was fixed in seconds. 
    - when finally found it was not invisible at all. 
     
    Go On!

    Subject: Heavy In-flight Vibration    Riddle
     
 
             All
     
    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

				Hi Raimo,
      
      I suggest your spinner cracked at the rear and lost a piece of metal     or the retaining screw.

            Yes I am Tim’s daughter, Hannah, and my second guess is;
            Was the Airmaster Auto/Man switch left on Man for the             Take-off?

                  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.

                  Notice also, these words below are really                   essential info, something maybe to do with prop/pwr                   –settings:

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.

				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

 I suggest your spinner cracked at the rear and lost a piece of    metal or the retaining screw.

                     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.

      Two thoughts.
      
 Fuel starvation with the fuel pumps not turned on for take      off?

        I have got plenty of good guesses via list and also direct.
        Some of you have hoped I will not publish them with their names and        do not worry I wont´t.
         
        Graham – I /we got an empty message from you – please retype it – I        am sure it will be a good info.
         
        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.
        I quarantee the shipment will be worth of making a good guess.
         
        ***
        Tips: 
         
        - the reason was off /on or black /white –type and very easy to        repair; it was fixed in seconds. 
        - when finally found it was not invisible at all. 
         
        Go On!

                             All
         
        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

				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...

    I have got plenty of good guesses via list and also direct.
    Some of you have hoped I will not publish them with their names and do    not worry I wont´t.
     
    Graham – I /we got an empty message from you – please retype it – I am    sure it will be a good info.
     
    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.
    I quarantee the shipment will be worth of making a good guess.
     
    ***
    Tips: 
     
    - the reason was off /on or black /white –type and very easy to repair;    it was fixed in seconds. 
    - when finally found it was not invisible at all. 
     
    Go On!

				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?

 Thanks Raimo for offering me a second chance (Marcel already told  me you seem to have a weak spot for women  [Wink] )
 
 My second guess: one of the carb venting tubes got detached from the plenum chamber.

				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.

  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.

				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:
       
      “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.

        I have got plenty of good guesses via list and also direct.
        Some of you have hoped I will not publish them with their names and        do not worry I wont´t.
         
        Graham – I /we got an empty message from you – please retype it – I        am sure it will be a good info.
         
        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.
        I quarantee the shipment will be worth of making a good guess.
         
        ***
        Tips: 
         
        - the reason was off /on or black /white –type and very easy to        repair; it was fixed in seconds. 
        - when finally found it was not invisible at all. 
         
        Go On!

				Luc,
   
  what is your girlfriend´s opinion?
  If your wife´s name is Francoise, I am sure you have a mistress or even  several.

  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...

    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.

       Raimo,
    Two thoughts.
    
 Fuel starvation with the fuel pumps not turned on for take off?

      I have got plenty of good guesses via list and also direct.
      Some of you have hoped I will not publish them with their names and do      not worry I wont´t.
       
      Graham – I /we got an empty message from you – please retype it – I am      sure it will be a good info.
       
      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.
      I quarantee the shipment will be worth of making a good guess.
       
      ***
      Tips: 
       
      - the reason was off /on or black /white –type and very easy to repair;      it was fixed in seconds. 
      - when finally found it was not invisible at all. 
       
      Go On!

                     All
       
      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
       
      
 
 Cheers,      Raimo Toivio
