Default RE: extra 260 maiden

Saw what you described Sat morning at a big bird event. Something happened with the left aileron, that in turn caused the wing to flutter (oscillate) perhaps 8-10 cycles before the wing ripped apart. You were more fortunate than the owner of that plane as it won't fly again.
