    slowstick vibrating wing

    Hi, anyone has any idea how to stop the slowstick wing from "shivering"/vibrating? thanx for sharing.
    I got this problem this morning when flying in a little wind. I hope to minimise it as it is quite scary seeing the whole plane vibrate.

    u mean the wing flapping?fluttering? Try to reinforce the wing with tape and stiffer carbon rod.

      Apart fr that, check if they shaft is bent or any damage on the prop. This may cause vibes

          I added another fiber rod (short one) about 30-40cm across the brass bend joint that u mentioned. Bend a little at the centre & tape the whole rod together at the leading edge to strengthen the wing. Maybe it works for u too Though abit ugly...
