Hi! Philip /Everyone.
The clonk wouldn't be there because of the outriggers on a 912S Trigear !
My friends had just the same thing and spent a while looking round the a/c
for evidence of a bird strike , only last week.( their's is the 912S
trigear)
I have passed the messages on to them.
Nothing similar on the 3300 Jabiru yet , but I'm not taking it as a joke,
just all ears.
Regards
Bob H G-PTAG Europa /3300 Jabiru .

I think it was something to do with the outriggers finally clicking into
place when airspeed dropped enough so that the "springs" (or whatever they
are) were able to overcome air resistance. I think "clonk" is the keyword to
search for here.

Hi All,
This is interesting. When I read this it brought to mind that I had read
something like this before on the site. I did a search for "bump" or "thump"
and could not find it. But I can remember the mystery being solved and I
don't think it involved icing problems. Can anyone else recall this? Was it
something about the mass balance weight?
