Default RE: Structural failure/ Extreme elevator flutter on Somenzini 72" Yak?

We will see after I get mine and get flying; but in my experience most cases of flutter and landing gear failure are caused by setup, or over powereing (too fast), and landing gear issues because a lot of RC pilots don't really land, they control-crash.

Some planes are better at taking this than others.

When I go to fly-ins I am amazed at many of the "landings" going on. Some lessons in full-size aircraft can help drive home the importantance of attitude and speed control on landings.
