Propeller vibrations?

[TechMan]

This picture was sent in today in regard to an Airborne 582 trike. It is the oil injection bottle mounting plate which is held at the top and the bottom.

 

2 years old with 71.5 hours on it. The suggestion is that the prop is slightly out of balance. It seems to be a one off case at the moment and from the amount of hours that some aircraft have flown, i would tend to agree, though it makes one think what is happening to the rest of the airframe if it is indeed related to propeller harmonics/vibrations.

 

Hence, keep a vigilant eye one your aircraft and all of its parts.
