Thanks Mark,
I gave YouTube a test and the resolution seemed really bad. Somehow it looks better now. Must have been that late night editing session.
Also You Tube censored the music! It knows I put "real" stuff in the Neat at Night vid vs the royalty free music in the other 2. Having no audio track really sucks, I'll be making an update so YouTube is happy.

There is a certain codec that youtube likes, and if you make your videos to the right size and codec for youtube, you won't lose anything in when they compress it.

My new camera has a youtube mode, for most of the resolutions, and when I upload it, I really don't too much quality.

Neat Fair 2009 E Obsession left elevator flutter

Did we ever hear what caused the E-Obsession flutter? Bad servo? Linkage?

Yes... it was determined that "play" in the elevator tube assembly (2 tubes actually) caused the excessive flutter. The down-wind, high-speed run did not help either! The plane has since been fixed and flown a few times already. Amazingly, another Obsession owner went home after NEAT and checked his elevator tubes and low & behold, his were pretty loose too! Best bet is to permanently epoxy the stabs to the fusealage which I did.... no more play to worry about!

Good to know and to find out what caused it. Lucky it didn't break something. I had a control rod slip a bit on just one elevator side earlier this season, it was everything I could do to fly the plane (in a slow arc) to an almost clean landing. Damn plane just wanted to constantly roll.
