Good Morning, All!
In keeping up with all the responses and comments about
flutter, my XL may soon be ready to fly. Eight years into the build
(with many interruptions), I finally got to hear the Jabiru 3300 run
last Saturday. I was impressed! It exceeded my expectations big time.
About a half inch of throttle would scoot the plane on the driveway! I
had the brakes full on. Sounds GREAT! (say it like Tony the Tiger)
Now, with proper cable tension and no flutter....
Happy flying and building to you all!

were raised at an industry meeting back in February, FAA spokeswoman Laura J. Brown told
AVweb on Tuesday, but she added that the agency has no immediate plans to call for the
airplanes to be grounded. "The manufacturer already has told owners to check the aileron
control cable tensions," she said. The FAA has formed a special review team with members
from the FAA and the industry to investigate the problem. Brown added that the FAA has
told the ASTM that it should conduct a review of its LSA standards regarding aerodynamic
flutter. More...
