Default RE: Showtime Flutter

Hello Mike,
Thanks for the reply......The stock set-up is what I used with the arm being a Dubro HD arm, 1 1/8 long from center of servo to center screw of ball link ( stock H9 ). The measurment of the link on the screw on the aileron ( the one thats glued in ) was set @ 27/32 high, just like the manual says.
Nothing was loose, and still isnt....just stripped servo gears. The angle of the link isnt perfectly straight, but I dont think it really is on any of my planes.
The wing folded just aft the wing tube, and the aileron is still in one piece......bolt is still glued in tight, etc.
I want to build another, but am not sure of the cause of the flutter, and am apprehensive to do another. I work at a rather large Hobby shop part-time for fun, and alot of people buy what I fly ( I am like a guinea pig ), so if I have a problem with something, they want to know about it before they buy one, so its important for me to come to a definate conclusion. I will probably be sending the wing panel to Horizon this week so they can take a look at it. At least if there was a problem with glue joints or something, I know I can build another plane and not worry so much about it.....
I was flying this plane more sport-like than any hard 3-D, so I just dont get it......
Thanks alot
