<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I am in reality recommending getting above that buzz speed that you spoke of, using stiffness. I am proposing that this is an easy thing to do without adding counter weight or building a brick fuselage. My plane never buzzes or flutters, but then again I have never used full throttle while diving at the ground to find my buzz point, which is no doubt there somewhere.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">All of this assumes adequate push rods or pull pull stuff.</font>

"</font><font size=2 face="Courier New"> However, I disagree that increased stiffness is the best <br>
way to go. Most of what people call "flutter" is really "control <br>
surface buzz", because it is essentially a one-dimensional phenomenon. <br>
Flutter is reserved by experts in the area to refer to oscillatory <br>
phenomenon involving two or more degrees of freedom (like wing <br>
bending/torsion or wing bending/torsion/aileron deflection).</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif">"<br>
