  1. If anyone has not yet experienced this effect, in my case it sounds just like the stall warning horn in a Cessna. Instinctively, one lowers the nose but that makes this problem louder. Likewise, if you pull up and slow down, it goes away. It's a strange quirk indeed.
  2. I searched for a photo somewhere of what the chute rubber is supposed to look like but had no luck. I agree from past experience it would be tape flapping like a reed and I found a loose spot and re-taped it. Unfortunately this did not change anything which is why I went looking elsewhere. It's interesting that this sound is not cancelled by the headsets. Wrong frequency I guess. It's hard to believe the sheer power of that sound considering how loud the mechanical noises are.
  3. Wing tape is usually the prime suspect but I believe I have a new buzz spot. My tape is tight so I had to look for something else. In my case (2008 CTLS) the heater duct and its attached rubber pieces behind the cowl are suspect. Noise starts about 80. After one flight I pulled the upper flap outside and it didn't buzz until 100 kts..but then was REALLY loud. Put it back inside and it changed back. There are four pieces. The small section on the right has a chunk broke out of it. Also, the rivets holding the chute are loose which may be contributing. It's out of Annual now and my mechanic of seven years moved out of state so, due to that and "other stuff", we are just sitting...again. A couple of you know what I'm talking about sigh.
  4. That's exactly what happened to me first time I washed the airplane. I didn't notice the book was ruined right away. It's still useable but doesn't feel good. did you ever figure out where the leak was? Right quarter window perhaps? George
