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 !!

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 ;)

Yes they do fly well at speed!! Don't let this video keep you from purchasing one.

RE: Flutter !!

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