Hi... I crashed my apprentice the other day and had to replace the firewall, motor shaft, prop adapter, and cowl. After fixing everything, i went to power it on and test it all. When i move up the throttle the entire plane shakes rapidly. The propeller is in great shape and the motor seems firmly secured. No clue why this is happening. Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!

Something is out of balance or out of round. Try a different prop. Maybe there is more damage to the motor than just the shaft, possibly a bent bell.

Ok I put another prop on, as well as a different motor... Same result. I am out of ideas 😬
