Speaking of Video's. And, in another thread, the potential for flutter -
here's some REAL flutter:

Dang! I can't believe the wings didn't snap off.

How did he stop it? I would think pulling back (to load up the wings)
would be your only hope?

IT appears that it was a test flight, and the pilot was transmitting his
observations in German. I couldn't understand most of it, but it seemed
he started out saying "fifty" ("fumfzig") and ended with "thirty"
("dreizig"), with commentary in the middle. I therefore speculate that
the test was to show an airspeed regime in which there was a flutter
problem.

Glider wings are pretty strong. I've never flown one, but I understand
that they hit some pretty strong gusts and pull some tight turns in an
effort to remain in the air on the force of rising or blowing air alone.

I thought I heard the word "hunert" (hundred) before funfzig and dreisig.
