Default Landing lights

Unusual vibration in a 172?

How do you detect that without instrumentation or the prop falling apart
before your eyes?

On my first take off in a 172R my first thought was the engine had failed
because everything wasn't shaking like hell like all the other carbureted
172s I had flown.

I'm amazed that the lights in the pre fuel injected models last more than
once or twice around the pattern in spite of all the vibration, especially
the ones with the lights in the cowl.
