Hey guys, I just flew an acceptance flight in an R22 and am getting a very similar vibe and centerd cyclic. The cyclic seems to center itself in forward flight and in a hover almost like a trim. I've never experienced this before. Good range of motion before start up and nothing binds up or feels even remotely rough.

Also, at about 70-75knts I'm getting a good bit of stick shake. More than I'm used too. Almost perfectly smooth in a hover. Nice and smooth up to about 65knts and starts to shake, not bad but noticeable. At 70 it starts to get rough.

Little background. New -4 MRB, new tail blades, new engine mounts, new lower sheave, new belts, new longitudinal bungee.

Another thing was that in a hover the ship twitched to the left a couple times. The mech said that the lower plugs may be fowler since the engine was pickled for a while. Has new mags and carburetor.

Any help would be great, thanks!
