Hi Raimo,
I suggest your spinner cracked at the rear and lost a piece of metal or

Hi Raimo,
Yes I am Tim=99s daughter, Hannah, and my second guess is;
Was the Airmaster Auto/Man switch left on Man for the Take-off?

Hanna,
are you sure you are Hanna or in fact Tim, Hanna=C2=B4s dad (who is going t

try to win desperately the shipment from Finland) ? ;)
If you really are Hanna; you may try 2nd time, because you are a pilot=C2

Please read my first mail once again carefully: I wrote

2nd fuel pump still on ... =9C
Notice also, these words below are really essential info, something maybe
to do with prop/pwr =93settings:

drived it from fine to coarse, tried all the power settings and also a 2nd

5400 rpm /Rotax 912S) and MAP around 20 inches I got quite a comfortable
flying mode and I headed straight home. =9C

All,
One of you is now really close, physically say 50 mm /2" inches.

Raimo,
Two thoughts.
Fuel starvation with the fuel pumps not turned on for take off?

I have got plenty of good guesses via list and also direct.

One of you have guessed the problem was because a broken de-icing rubber

No one has so far found a reason for my vibra.
So there are still a possibility to get an Xmas packet from Finland.
I quarantee the shipment will be worth of making a good guess.

Tips:
- the reason was off /on or black /white =93type and very easy to re
pair; it
was fixed in seconds.
- when finally found it was not invisible at all.
Go On!

All
I have hope-so a nice riddle for you.
Maybe all the answers are useful =93 let=C2=B4s collect them all:
***
Yesterday I took off from a very remote /small /windy (90 degrees 12 knots
and gusting MUCH) grass strip. Soon until well over the ground at altitude
+500 feet with full power and 2nd fuel pump still on and gears up I felt
suddenly let us say medium or more shake and vibration. My immediate
reaction was to go around and land immediately but abandoned because wind
was so
furious and I felt I cannot do that (a succesful landing).
I decided to try to fly to the next possible sensible airfield EFHV which
was 10 minutes apart.
Those minutes were long: I put my prob (Airmaster CS) to manual and drived
it from fine to coarse, tried all the power settings and also a 2nd fuel
filter. Finally I noticed that when prop was in a climb mode (in my case
5400 rpm /Rotax 912S) and MAP around 20 inches I got quite a comfortable
flying mode and I headed straight home. My airspeed was w that selection a
bout
110 knots but because of a strong headwind GS was only about 70 knots
(wanted to be clearly over the ground at 3000 ft because it was well over
sunset
and totally dark, yesterday we got sunset around 1600 Zulutime and time wa
s
well over 1630 when flying).
So, I pushed home one looooong hour. All the aerodynamics were well. I was
a bit worried my engine will separate or so. When trying to push more pwr
it was more vibra and when trying to pull less pwr same. I Followed a main
highway and decided to land there if feeling so. Cars there with lights ar
e
almost like a lighted runway...
Finally landing to the EFTP flawlesly.
***
Today we had a FHGP (Family Hangar Grill Party). I tried to check my plane
as well as I can. I found something. Very small evidence but something
anyway. I tried to fix it and had a test run. I elected to go to fly
=93 hey I
am a test pilot who else =93 and She was better than ever!
I managed to do 2 touches and goes when C172 did one with same runway.
140 knots during downwind makes me always happy.
***
So =93 dear Ladies and Gentlemen =93 what was wrong?
It would be nice and very life-useful to hear your opinions or guesses
what was wrong.
***
The Rules: one single guess per person, please.
The Prize: The Best Guess will get a Very Special Xmas Present from
Finland!
***
I will let you know a solution after a week =93 be patient.
Have a nice weekend and
Cheers, Raimo Toivio
