Thanks Vince.
I wonder why Van thought he had to go to the counter balanced rudder?
Having been in R/C for a long time and seeing flutter first hand, I know I don't
want to experience it while my butt is in the airplane.
On a side note, the G-202 prototype had a case of aileron flutter. They were lucky,
from what I've heard it was over with a bang before the pilot knew what
happened. Blew the aileron off without damaging much else and he was able to
safely land the airplane...

scroll about one third of the way down for a pic of how I changed my VS attach
to resemble the F-1 stuff.
I don't have a rudder counter balance.
Is any of this necessary? According to several HR drivers I've talked to.... No.
It's your choice then, isn't it?
