The paint thing is correct, but the homebuilt thing probably isn't.
I've been in the EAA for a looooong time and I can only think of a
handfull
of accidents caused by flutter.
More often is something as pedestrian as a fuel plumbing problem or
control
jam.

I gotta agree with that. Loss of power is tops, I think, be it fuel, or
other causes.

Amazing that some people so not do the thing about putting it in climb
attitude, and doing a full power run up for a few minutes, to see if it will
flow fuel and keep other things working right in a simulated climb. Common
sense would dictate that step before attempting a first flight, to me.

I know, let MX test it out on his simulator, to see if everything is going
to keep the suck squeeze bang blow operation going smoothly. g
