Default RE: Phoenix Giles 202

danedelman, I wonder why we got the flutter situation in the first place. My GMS .47 was plenty for this plane although I never got above half throttle. I'm surprised that I didn't have the problems taking off like others have (course this GMS is a powerful sucker I used to scream around with a Lucky Stik). Gotta admit, they make a good engine!

The bottom line for me is that I believe the flutter situation caused the plane to become even more un-flyable than it already was. I haven't called TH yet but got names of witnesses and I'm thinking about it.

Let me know what you run into if you try to get warranty repair done.
