Any ideas from you prop guys?? I'm no prop guy, but ... That makes sense to me, Ed, and it might also have been a factor in my prop strike incident. This was the first time I'd been able to get a smooth idle, and I was throttled way back. My prop is a pretty big bad boy too. It might have been giving me some drag I wasn't expecting. I flew it again today (prop fixed with flox) and kept the speed up this time. No problems. No vibration.
