Default Flutter !!

Great [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/magazine/article_display.cfm?article_id=1289]article and vid[/link] regarding flutter.

The a/c could have easily been lost after some non-factory mods made it flutter prone, skip to the 1 minute and 3 minute marks in the vid if you are in a hurry :-)

I never knew wings could flap so much !!

Default RE: Flutter !!

Bob's plane had MODIFIED ailerons (split ailerons), that's why the flutter happened.

Other than that modification, Mibo's A-10's fly well at high speed and this video proves the A-10 is well constructed.


**Edit** My post is ONLY to defend Mibo's product and Bob Levine

Rog, edited my original post so that no one would mistakenly believe that the airframe mfr was at fault for the flutter......
