Flew Christmas evening under a full moon. Shortly after take off felt a strange vibration and noise in the headset and landed immediately. The next day during daylight hours I inspected everything and went up and got the same thing.
Had my a and p check out the motor with the cowl off. Found nothing. Annual was only 2 weeks ago. Figured they messed something up.
Went up today with him and it wasn't as pronounced. But we looked around the airframe and found the strip on top of the slider roll bar was separating in front from the canopy- looked like it could have vibrated and resonated to make a loud noise.
I always try to tell people to NOT use that as a loading handle but it's hard to get people to remember.
Anyway I'm hoping that is the problem and I'd like to know if anyone else has experienced it. I'd also like to know what material I should use to glue it back down to the canopy and seal it off.
A couple flights before this I noticed more air coming in the. Slider gap than before but just figured the canopy didn't get as good of a deal. Now I know.
