I haven't done this before, so please excuse my naiveté.
I have reviewed the SL-00024 Rev 1, MM R3.7, and PAP Rev 2.4 and searched the forum but haven't found the answer to this question:
For an RV-12iS, when conducting a dynamic propeller balance procedure, is the lower cowl supposed to be left on?
I am concerned about the lower cowl flexing during full throttle / high RPM ground run introducing weird harmonic resonance issues that then are no longer there when, with the upper cowl installed, the flying configuration structure allows much less flexing.
If the lower cowl is supposed to be removed, then should I just secure/zip tie the induction hose/air filter/IAT assembly?
I just had my Sensenich 2 blade prop blades factory refurbished and statically balanced and will be using a Dynavibe Classic balancer device.
I have already reviewed the procedures for reinstallation, pitch matching, blade tracking, etc. prior to the dynamic balance procedure.
Thank you in advance for any help, tips, or cautions.
