Default RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

has anyone experienced any flutter [sm=confused.gif] The club I'm in, 3 of us have a Twist (Make that 2, as 1 is yet payed to be a member [sm=tired.gif]), anyho.... Tim has put his Twist in some pretty high speed dives, pulling level for a highspeed pass along the runway [sm=eek.gif]. I've yet to notice any flutter, which surprised me. I haven't done any highspeed passes w/mine yet, though I've wondered if it'd hold together through some of the spins I've put it in.
I only glanced at the manual putting it together.... so not sure if sealing the hinges was in it or not, but I sealed all my hinges w/clear monokote. I'm not a big fan of CA hinges on a plane that has as large of controll surfaces that the Twist has, so I figured the monokote would act as a secondary hinge..... makes Me feel alittle better about it anyway
