In flight vibration

It appears that our aircraft is a one of a kind. We have the long nose version with additional support to house a FLIR. When it is installed, it acts as a very nice air dam and the vibration is not that bad.

Once it is removed, we do notice it above 130 KIAS, but by adjusting the mass dampers, Agusta was able to reduce the vibration. We still get an increase noise due to the gear door being removed, but with our FLIR rail, we can not have the doors installed.

Thanks for the imput and we will keep the Raft cover in mind. We have noticed with our 109's that the Italians can not make a decent glue. I guess that ate all of the horses
