Hi Milt, Whose exhaust system do you have? I think the "hard mounted"
exhaust is the likely culprut. One other thought that I had was the wing root
fairing possibly causing low frequency vibration. What wing root fairing do
you have? You seem to indicate that the vibs were associated with engine rpm.
Is it engine power, or airspeed? I.E. "power" or "aerodynamic". We had a
very serious vibration problem with an airline transport aircraft (which
shall go un-named) when the wing root fairing was loose, or worse yet, missing.
Hope this helps. Les Featherston Do Not Archive

Hi All,
There was an RV-8 that had an engine baffle seal formed aft that caused a
vibration. You might check your baffles seals while you're at it.
Regards,
Jim Ayers

It will be one year today, Veterans Day and I am a Vietnam Vet. Still no
final on the NSTB report on what happened to one of my best friend and his
wife, man are they slow. Unfortunately we may never know what happened that
fateful day. I was also flying that day at the same time about 150 miles
from the accident site and even though the report says the weather was
clear it wasn=92t were I was flying and it looked ugly in the direction where
647C crashed. So there may have been some weather issues.
I first met Carl n Sue back in the early 90=92s I had the same type of
airplane he was building a T-18 and I had a hanger down in Santa Maria. I
asked Carl if he would like to share a hanger and he said sure. Since we
both had the same type, we would do many things together like go to
different flyins and have little gatherings at the hanger. Sue was very
good at seamstress work and made some very soft wing and canopy covers for
our planes. We called them pajama=92s and they helped keep the dirt and sand
off the airplanes because although we were hangered the Santa Maria winds
would blow in the dirt and dust
During the mid 90=92s Carl celebrated his 50th birthday party. It was a
surprise party with Sue doing all the planning and roasting. It was great
Carl got a wheel chair a bedpan lots of Geritol, he received a lot of his
own medicine that day. I think he was planning the same type of thing for
Sue but was not able to do it.
During our years of sharing a hanger, we would go through many different
experiences. There were times when our machines needed work and we would go
down and fix them and would get frustrated and happy sometimes on the same
day. Sue decided that the hanger needed more decoration and put some of our
old airplane pictures on poster board and put them all around the hanger to
spruce it up.
When I decided to build a Harmon Rocket, I knew there would be times when I
needed help. Carl was always ready to help out when I need another bucking
partner. In fact he was probably very helpful in a lot of aspects looking
at the various stages of construction making his usual wry comments
sometimes even being serious. When I sold the T-18 to buy the engine and
propeller Carl gladly allowed me to fly his beloved Teachers Pet 647C .
Other than Carl I had the most hours flying 647C. This was a big help to
relieve the flying bug that takes effect when you are in the midst of
building a part for the third time, and about to quit the building process
in complete frustration.. He was there when I took off on the first flite I
was so wired up you couldn=92t have stuck a needle up my butt. Before I sold
my Thorpe Sue said don=92t let them have the pajamas, I will alter them for
the rocket when it is done. I still have them today and use them for the
hanger at French Valley Airport where the wind blows there too.
Then there was the time when we flew with our kids to Hawaii. It was an
interesting trip =85on our way back to the States at the airport we heard
that the airplane was delayed in Los Angeles. Well delayed in =93Charted
Airline Speak=94 really meant that the DC-10 flying out to Maui two hours or
about 1,000 miles over the pacific developed engine problems on the
starboard engine and had to shut it down and return back to LA. We stayed
in Hawaii another extra day. For our troubles, we received two
complementary round trip tickets to Maui. We decided since our money was
gone, we gave the tickets to Carl n Sue. They loved it and that was the
beginning when they would go to Hawaii about every other year.
The computer I am writing this letter with was purchased from Carl. He
loved working with computers and would buy and sell them as a side hobby.
He would always help with a computer problem. Even after we moved away to
San Diego I would still call him and ask for advice on a particular problem.
I really think Carl could have been a stand in Comedian for a second job. I
would call him up and I would say, =93 good afternoon he would said =93good
evening=94 I said hey you=92ve been on my mind=94 he=92d say really I=92ve lost
mine
and can=92t find it, or something crazy like that!
Young Eagles with the EAA was something they both loved. Carl would do the
flying and Sue would take care of the logistical paperwork. Carl was able
to pursue two of his passions with young eagles flying and teaching kids. I
was able to help out once with this process and really enjoyed it. Had I
stayed in the 5 cities area I would have been more involved flying kids.
We were planning to have a BBQ to honor my Rockets first flite. We just
about had the date set when Carl broke his foot. He did not want to do much
for a while and I put the idea on hold. We had done one about 4 years ago
and it was great and had lots of participation of local and out of town
pilots. Unfortunately, I will not be able to do that now with two people I
loved
It is hard not to think about them as I am reminded of them everytime I
turn on the computer or take off the pajamas on 266HP to go flying. I
believe that God puts these reminders on my heart to realize that life is
precious and we should cherish it as much as possible. I also believe in
the promises of the Bible verses of
Romans 6:23 =93For the wages of sin is death, But the free gift of God is
eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.=94
John 3:16 =93For God So loved the world that He gave his only begotten
Son (Jesus) that whoever believes in Him Shall not perish but have Eternal
Life.
You could sum up what I think about life in this song by Petra.
I believe in God the Father - maker of heaven and earth
and in Jesus Christ His only Son
I believe in the virgin birth
I believe in the Man of Sorrows bruised for iniquities
I believe in the Lamb who was crucified and hung between two thieves
I believe in the resurrection on the third and glorious day
and I believe in the empty tomb and the stone that the angel rolled away
He descended and set the captives free
and now He sits at God's right hand and prepares a place for me
this is my creed - the witness I have heard
the faith that has endured
this truth is assured
through the darkest ages past
though persecuted, it will last
and I will hold steadfast to this creed
I believe He sent His Spirit to comfort and to reveal
to lead us into the truth and light, to baptize and to seal
I believe that He will come back the way He went away
and receive us all unto Himself, but no man knows the day
I believe He is the Judge of all men, small and great
the resurrected souls of men receive from Him their fate
some to death and some to life, some to their reward
some to sing eternal praise forever to our Lord
