Tony,

I had a similar problem with my 914 / Airmaster setup.  I had the propeller
balanced which made a big improvement, but didn't completely remove the
vibration.  I since balanced the carburetors with a pair of vacuum gauges
and it runs as smooth as a sewing machine.

If that doesn't work I'd suggest you check the blade angle with a
protractor, sometimes they are a bit out and it can cause a resonating
vibration.  Unfortunately these angles are set by Airmaster in a jig so if
they are wrong it is a trip back to the factory for the blades.

Paul
