Troubleshooting

Why does my EEW vibrate at higher speeds?

The most common cause is your flyer isn’t balanced. To fix this 

make sure the two sliding hooks you aren’t using are directly across 
from the two you are using. Also make sure that one set of hooks 
are facing upwards and one set facing downwards so the weight is 
distributed evenly on the flyer. This only matters at higher speeds.
