REFLECTOR: Flight video N17010

[Chris Barber]

There didn't seem to be. I had flight four yesterday. Everything was going fine when I felt a vibration from the back. Not severe but I took the closest runway and landed.

Upon landing I discovered the leading edge tape from one of the prob blades had departed and another looked as if it was ready to do the same.

I need to figure out why. These stainless steal tapes are quite difficult to remove as I replaced them following ground testing but now are not staying attached. IVO. Has a online vid describing the installation including superglue along the edge of the tape, which I followed, but still have the issue. Perhaps some of the super 77 adhesive by 3M?

Thoughts from the collective are welcome.

Thanks for the video, Chris. I could not tell from the screens . . . how are the performance stats? (Engine temps, climb-out rate, trim, etc.) Anything need to be addressed before flight 4?

Yes, it is crude, but here is a video I took on my third flight around EFD (Ellington Field, Houston) a couple of weeks ago.  The weather has sucked since, so no new flights.
