Title: Elevator flutter on big turbine MB339
Post by: DominicM on August 27, 2015, 11:59:29 AM
Near disaster on this maiden flight. An elevator servo came lose and the flutter could have easily caused lose of control and destruction of the model. Pilot makes a great save by bleeding off the air speed for a safe landing.
