Hi in da sky,

Hmmm, the same thing happened to me today.

I flew it straight up, cut the throttle to idle and let is spin. About 1/2 down there was a violent flutter. I immedately landed. The first thing I noticed was the 4/40 control rod I use on the Aileron was really bent. I loaded up the plane and went home. I haven't taken off the monokote yet but I can feel the cracks in the balsa wood on the leading edge of the wing. My failure occured on the left side of the wing leading edge between where the sevo mounts and the fuselage. Did yours fail there too? Do you think great planes will back this failure?

Regards,
