    Rick - Are you expecting any CFIs to be at Wauchula New Year's?
    I'm looking to get signed off on my Sport Pilot - Gyro. I seem to recall that you went that route.
    I passed my FAA exam and have that in hand.
    Who did you use to get signed off?

    Rick,
    I have just completed a Dominator and I plan to attend the New Years Fly-in with it. Gabor refered me to you. He said that you could probably recommend a hotel or motel local to Wauchula.
    thanks,

    I need the advice of The Morons while you guys are at Valkaria this weekend, please.

    I have a weird vibration - I call it a cabin hop - that seems to be airspeed sensitive.
    Between 65 and 70 mph.
    Is not dependent upon engine rpm, rrpm or gyro attitude.
    It manifests itself as a shake - up and down? - of the entire bird, not the stick.
    It's pretty violent. If I suck it up, I can fly through it and it's fine from 70 to about 90 - as fast as I care to go.
    Same thing happens as I decrease speed back through 70-65mph.
    My stick shake isn't bad but it's not perfect, either. I've strung 'em, slung 'em, polished 'em, kissed on 'em and prayed over 'em.
    I can't decide if they are tracking correctly or not. Ernie flew 'em and put a beer can shim under one side.

    Maybe if we can all put our heads together we can come up with some ideas to try.
    Thanks,
    Larry
