Default RE: What does flutter sound like?


ORIGINAL: foosball_movie

Hi.

While flying my Hobbico Hobbistar 60, I've done a couple of high-speed (well, high-speed for a trainer) passes and another pilot said he heard flutter. All I heard was the prop and engine.

1) what does flutter sound like?

2) Is there a way to isolate it so I can be sure that is what I'm hearing?

I've got the same plane that makes the same noise you are talking about. I've flew it with that noise well over 100 times. It always happens in a high speed nose down atitude. Everybody said it was bad flutter. Well it isn't, its the front nose cheeks vibrating against the big long aluminum motor mount on that particular plane.
