Just noticed something for a few seconds in an air to air vid of the Oracle Challenger III:



slave strut vibrating I think on the Oracle challenger in a particular attitude. Unless my eyes deceive me.

I was lucky to never exerience slave struts going bad as both Pitts I owned and flew already had stall strips on the fuselage side of the strut.

I'd have tried @acropilotbret vortilator tape next but I wonder if some attitudes can still light off some aeroelastic flutter.
