Hi Chaps
Im the proud 1/3rd owner of an AA5B-180 Tiger. On the Rev counter theres a yellow arc between c1850 and 2250 rpm, which relates to a problem with vibration during descending flight.
Research elsewhere suggests its to do with the original prop/engine combination- a Mcauley prop originally.
The plane has had the prop changed for the Sensitech one, the engine remains as original. I gather this is a common upgrade as there were problems with the original prop in the AA5B installation.
Am I correct in thinking the yellow arc can now be disregarded?
TIA
