Default RE: Dynaflite Butterfly build

Back on page one I refered to a wing folding on a Butterfly I built. To clarify, the failure occured at the polyhedral break and was caused by excessive wing flutter. The airplane was powered by an O.S. .25. Although larger then required, full power was only used when climbing, the rest of the time the engine was at 1/2 or so throttle.
