Default What is flutter?

Hi everyone. I'm new here, but have been observing for months. I keep seeing threads of servo flutter and how it destroyed peoples' planes, but I can not find the definition of flutter anywhere. What exactly is it? I have heard that having underpowered servos can cause it, and result in a total destruction of the plane, but how can an underpowered servo cause a plane to come apart in midair? Can someone please explain this to me?


Thanks!
Johnny
