For fellow Aztec operators.

I have noticed a very slight and occasional/intermittent vibration in cruise flight. I've had the props balanced to very satisfactory levels a few times.

Again, it is not all the time, just occasionally. The only correlation I can come up with is it appears to happen when flying with a decent to strong quartering headwind/tailwind. When the mystery vibration isn't present, the engines are butter smooth (duh) and the plane flies true hands-off.

What's the thinking this could just be a characteristic of 2 bladed props?

I'm out of ideas, anyone else have any experience like this?

Thanks for any insight or ideas.
