DPM Ultimate 40 concerns!
I thought I'd run this by some of you to get your opinions. While trying to get my new Saito 72 adjusted correctly I noticed 2 things on my DPM Ultimate 40.
1. The carbon fiber aileron interconnects vibrate while the engine is running, in fact they move back and forth fact by about 1/8" in the center as a result at full throttle.
2. When advancing the throttle from idle to full the elevator halves flutter a bit due to vibration. They calm as the engine nears peak RPM.
The prop and nose cone are balanced, and were checked again this evening to be sure. I am not sure I can do anything about the aileron interconnects, but I was thinking the elevator halves pull-pull cables are not tight enough. There is certainly no slop in the control surfaces, though. The LHS owner checked the plane over and specifically the cables last Wednesday and saw no probs with it.
Should I be worried about this? The elevator is what really bothers me.
TIA
