Default RE: Flutter or prop tip speed.....

Hi everyone, thanks for your help. Ill check everything over later, im starting to think its the prop. Im thinking this just because Ian (nice name BTW lol) said it was a low pitch. were this was a faster higer pitch "ripping" noise.

My canopy is all sealed with tape, and i was flying too far away for me to be able to hear my wheels, as i know what this sounds like from other planes.

also, i fogot to mention, when i was flying, i heard it, i idled the engine, it stopped so i pulled up and had the throttle at mid range. surly with flutter i would have ripped the tail off when doign this?????

thanks again
Ian
