Anyone ever experience singing wheel pant brackets on the taildraggers?
I have a singing sound above 140 knots and I am having trouble finding the exact cause. Today I safetywired the front of the bracket to the back and pulled it taught. I honestly think that made it worse instead of stopping it.
Next step is to remove them or just put the wheelpant on with no gear leg fairing.
I think this is what is causing the noise but I am not sure. It is airspeed related though. Motor RPM has no effect on it but the faster I go, the louder it gets.
