Default Flutter on Gremlin

I've had the rudder flutter when made from coroplast. I drive a pointed fiberglass rod across the flutes at an angle. That really stiffens them up. I usually have to pound it in with a hammer for the last bit though!
The diving low flyby should show it up, it's a good idea to have someone else watch for the flutter so you can react quickly if something odd happens. Chop throttle and pull up!
