Dubd - I believe he has made the changes AFTER the flutter, as he writes that he has NOW done as I recommended and hasn't
had time to fly it after this... and Morne - from an earlier picture it seems like the new hinges are glued in OK.

Anyway, man - don't be afraid to fly it now that you have done this the correct way, it will take any speed and any maneuvering
without a problem when you have done things right! BTW - what is your real name?

Tor
Tor, gotcha. I misread his post.
