I've started noticing some chatter in the flap motor in our RV-6.
Symptom is an approx 4 Hz small amplitude jerky oscillation superimposed on the flap motion when lowering flaps, accompanied by a little noise. Doesn't appear when raising flaps, and a little opposing force will damp it right out (so you only notice this when lowering flaps on the ground).
Anybody seen this before? Anything to be done about it?
Thanks for any help...
