Hey Team:
Just got my 8A flying and trying to work out the bugs. One of which is a loud, annoying, high frequency buzz/hum/rattle coming from somewhere behind me - from the canopy or skirt, I presume. It doesn't start until I reach cruise speeds. I discovered it will go away if I partially turn on the cabin heat. The cabin vents also work to minimize the noise, but don't work quite as well as heat. Have any of you encountered this? What did you find works best to make it go away?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
