Default RE: FLUTTER WITH U CAN DO

I saw one of these intentionally flown to failure this past weekend.  It took several high-speeds passes, but eventually the tail surfaces parted company with the fuse and the rest is history.  During the initial passes, both wing panels fluttered violently.  I thought for sure they would explode, but they held up fine.  It was very entertaining, to say the least.
