Flutter
      
      
      Folks, Just bought N8938T, serial #62. The aircraft has a total of 150 hours. 
      Today two of us made the first flights since purchase. All went well until we 
      got up to about 125 IAS and encountered some light turbulence. At that point we
      
      started getting a low frequency, high amplitude flutter in the elevator. This 
      lasted for 3-4 seconds. Each time we hit a thermal it would happen again. It 
      does not occure below 90 IAS. This bird has "feathers" on the underside of the
      
      horizontal stabilizer. Could thesecause this condition? Has anyone 
      encountered or heard of some one that has? Any info would be appreciated. We 
      suspect an out of balance elevator. Thanks in advance, Ralph Lerch 
      lerch268@bellsouth.net cell 828-266-2064

      Interesting discussion about props and speeds, keep the numbers coming !!  I am
      still testing my Lightning and with a WC62FK58 I'm only getting about 120kias
      at 2900rpm at low level on a std day which is a little less than I had expected
      now that I have the wheel fairings on. Has there been any know issues with
      these props and how can you check the pitch ? Also dose anyone know if these props
      are balanced  at the factory ? I am using the supplied composite spinner
      and i'm getting some vibration through the rudder pedals especially at 2700-2800rpm.
      Looking at getting a dynamic balance   :?
       Any other tips for squeesing some more kts out appreciated!   [Idea]
