Hi Chris,
My FT is at the lower limit, but isn't noisy fwiw.
Such is life when buying a used aircraft - one never knows the true service
history - always full of unanticipated surprises ;-) For a personality
type such as mine, it's killer. More motivation to get my 20+year old kit
bits finally into formation with new bits (and cross my fingers lol)....
it's gonna happen. really. :-)
Thanks again!
Pete
PS - WD couldn't tell me their moment of inertia, but I just tripped on a
rotax service bulletin which lays out a simple hanging string test to
determine.... guess what I'll be doing tomorrow morning ;-)
