Just began to disasemble my .46 sized RV4. Have flown it for 3 years with a Magnum .46 and flaps. I never fly this plane at full throttle (except for this time), it is very quick for such a small motor. Staright and level on a full throttle pass the stabilizer broke and began severe flutter. I was able to slow the plane down, drop the flaps, but the damage to the empanage was done. Landed wings level in a bean field with just some monocoat damage. Upon examinig the plane the vertical, and both sides of the horizontal stab were broken into. The canopy broke loose and took some balsa with it, and the elevator servo stipped its gears. Wheel pants also were damaged. The beans took their toll on the monocoat, but probably saved the airframe from a lot more damage. Be a quick repair project for this winter. Any one else have this happen? The control surfaces were nice and tight, not any slop. I quess I could have lost the elevator servo first and this started it all, who knows!
