Wow... close call !

Why was it driven into the wall earlier ? Head Scratching  That must have a induced structural weakness, or loosened up something !

PS: Great to see all the gang again Smiley

I noticed some fluttering as well on the elevator... Not sure if it was induced  Head Scratching...
Dont think its a good idea to fly with flutter on the surface areas... however, the approach seems limited.

yes  there is fluttering on the elevator, but i am not able to solve it, tried it by relocating the esc, rx no luck. may be the 2.4/carbon fibre issue Head Scratching

They are a great pair Santosh. See if there is some binding in the Elevators and change the elevator servos if needed. These planes are very fine articles to waste over bad servos.

How did you get  these planes by the way ? I have just fallen in love with Purple-White Katana! at $129, they are not that bad a deal, but shipping of over $80 would be a kill.

Having seen this in person, I am pretty sure it is some form of interference.  We could make it stop, I think by touching some part of the plane (can't remember).

We did spend/find the time to dig into the issue though.
