cstevec...Man your story is just flat weird. I don't even know what to say except man, I'm sorry for what happened. The flutter scares me a bit. So far (about 25 flights) I haven't had anything close to that. I can't see how the wind would cause flutter especially with a 4W pitch prop. I wouldn't think you could go fast enough to cause a problem. I've made some serious full speed (level) pasess with a 6 pitch prop just to see what would happen and no flutter at all. I do have metal gear servos. What servos are you using? That possibly could be part of the problem. I used Dubro pinned hinges that I epoxyed in. What hinges did you use? Wow, that's just bazar.

zurgreturns... I used the pull/pull with mine. I have the battery just barely ahead of the CG so my guess is yes, you'll need to use the pull/pull.

Thanks
Barry
