From: "cookwithgas" Scott Laughlin Omaha, Nebraska No flutter - 123 hours flutter - 0 hours Jeez! I fell sorry for you guys building still and spending time on this forum. When I was building, the big controversy was green vs. brown scotch-brite. I changed computers several months ago and lost the link to this list. This evening I just spent a few hours reading all the posts and watching the videos and listening to webcasts, etc. and it looks like to me some of you guys shot yourselves in the foot by notifying the NTSB! Are you serious????? I apologize in advance to those that did this thing - I'm sure you had good intentions but if ever you want to contact the government to save me from myself, please don't! I promise not to use my lawn mower as a hedge trimmer or try to light a bonfire with gasoline for fear of the government banning the use of lawn mowers or the dispensing of gasoline into portable cans. Stupid is as stupid does. If you have the gumption to build and fly one of these beautifully designed, docile-flying aircraft called the 601XL, (or if you have the good fortune to buy one already built) then do a thorough pre-flight which includes checking the aileron cables and go flying! I try to do it once a week and still get a thrill out of it after a year of flying by myself with my new sport pilot license which I earned with an instructor in my 601XL. I probably won't be checking back here to see if anybody replies, so email me directly if you feel strongly about contacting me. Meanwhile I'm going to concentrate on finding the time to fly and spend less time on this silly computer. My email address is on my website that I haven't updated in a while. Happy flying, Scott Laughlin N5SL 601XL/Corvair Omaha, Nebraska P.S. Put a BRS in your airplane if you are worried about magic flutter happening to a sound aircraft. It's an easy installation. Lord knows how mad some people will be if the NTSB mandates that all light aircraft install a BRS type system.
