Jim Peace Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 It is amazing how electrons flow in airplanes. I once flew a G2 that would descend rapidly whenever you transmitted on comm 2. Even if the autopilot was on. Problem was never fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradp Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 It does look like your yoke is hitting the panel now. I’m voting broken shock mount. Look at everything important up front. Another common failure point is cowl flaps but this is a c? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
211º Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 If you go up again, I wonder if pushing up on the lower right or pushing right in the outside left side of the panel will create a “new shock mount” and fix the problem.

JoshMan Posted November 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Alright, guys. Sorry it took so long but we finally fixed the problem We first balanced the prop. It was at 0.5 IPS and we got it down to 0.02 IPS which made a big difference in the ride but did not fix the issue I also had a small static leak of 250 ft/min. This was fixed but did not correct the problem Finally we replaced shock mounts which did the trick. A few confounding factors, but finally got to the bottom of it. Thanks for all your help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
