If you are talking about direction of flight ,then no it is not normal. If this is the one make sure you are not letting it turn a little bit and feeling the lash.

Lsapilot Posted June 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Tom, Thanks for your response. I think it's gear lash. I was mistaken with my analysis. I returned to the plane and discovered that I was wrong thinking that the movement was for and aft. In fact it's rotational. by moving one blade back and forth in a rotational direction, (of course nowhere near turning the engine over), the other two move in unison. It's very slight, fraction of an inch., and I only need one finger to move the blade. What do you think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
