Default RE: Great Planes 25% Yak 81" 12-lb, seen on Fly3D Magazine

I took her up at 30% power and banked right. Pulled back to 20% power and was about to correct the trim ( I only needed about 3 clicks) and then the left wink started to shake and then the flutter came on the left wing, then the right wing. I then pulled down to 10% power to allow her to roll. I then pulled up to bring her down but right then she started to spin to the right and that was it. crunch!

Please bring me a trash bag! and we went to look. I have contacted GP and they asked me to send her in. I am sure GP will replace her. For the first 20 sec I fell in love with this airplane. She flew light and then like a lighting strike the flight went wrong. She was 12lbs 10 oz.
