Default Dave Patrick 330L Aileron Flutter

Well guys, great to hear all the different input for you. Bottom line is this. I am NOT an novice builder, I am an experienced pilot. I upgraded my hardware on the ailerons. I used HIGH Torque servos. I flew the plane VERY slowly...It was not OVERweight, came in at 15lbs, 4 oz with the TME smoke system in it. And it still fell victim to flutter. If you look on DP website, they talk about a Moki 1.8 causing flutter..... SO let's not just say it was THE GASSER!! All I know is that I am OUT well over $600.00 bucks after 3 minutes of flight time. I just hope the DP comes to the plate and refunds me my cash or at least replaces the kit...btw, the BME50 ran FLAWLESS from the first startup!! Sure hope she did not get hurt too bad..it looks pretty good..Will send it in to them the have them check it out...
