Counterweighting to prevent flutter

Uh, you might have made a slight error here... the correct
method is to get into a dive, pull up and at the correct
test velocity, give the stick a sharp rap. The difference
is that you're slowing down NOT speeding up as you enter the
"test".... If you do encounter flutter, it's hopeful it
will stop as you slow down.

Good enough. It's been a while since I read about that. I guess not being
able to slow down would be a "bad thing", but it *would* give my parachute
scenario a better shot. g
